How might I make this day, Lord,
a better day than yesterday?
How might my words and deeds today
prepare me for tomorrow?
How might I give more generously
of all I call my own?
And how receive more humbly
what others kindly offer?
How might I speak more honestly
my mind, my thoughts, my heart?
How might I hear more patiently
what others have to say?
How might I be more merciful
when others' faults offend?
How might I be more grateful
for mercy tendered me?
How might I right my wrongs
or repair my past mistakes?
How might I open my heart
to those who seek my forgiveness?
How might I be more faithful, Lord,
to you and to my prayer?
How might I make more time today
to spend alone with you?
How might I make this day, Lord,
a better day than yesterday?
How might my words and deeds today
prepare me for tomorrow?
Amen.
