February a Great Day for Norsk

In addition to being the feast day of St. Anskar, Feb. 3 is my sisters birthday. So happy birthday to both of you. I'll learn more about Anskar.

My Catholic Church

At 82 years old (almost) I wonder about my role in encouraging nonparticipating Catholics back. I'm too old to study for the priesthood and I'm married. But I can pray.
Loving Father

I invite you into my life today,
and make myself available to you.
Help me to become the-best-version-of-myself,
by seeking your will
and by being a living example of your love in the world.
Open my heart to the areas of my life that need to change,
so I can carry out the mission you have imagined for my life and
experience the joy you desire for me.
Inspire me to live the Catholic faith in ways that are dynamic and engaging,
Show me how to best get invoved in the life of my parish.
Give our community a hunger for best practices and continuous learning.
Give me courage when I am afraid,
and when I am discouraged,
and clarify in times of decision.
Lead your Church to become all you imagined it would be
for the people of our times.

Amen
