Saint Charbel's Family  "They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer"  Acts 2-42

O God

O God, early in the morning I cry to you.

Help me to pray

And to concentrate my thoughts on you:

I cannot do this alone.

In me there is darkness,

But with you there is light;

I am lonely,

but you do not leave me;

I am feeble in heart,

but with you there is help;

I am restless,

but with you there is peace.

In me there is bitterness,

but with you there is patience;

I do not understand your ways,

But you know the way for me…

Restore me to liberty,

And enable me so to live now

That I may answer before you and before me.

Lord, whatever this day may bring,

Your name be praised.
