Prayer for today (11/18/15)

My blessed Jesus, help me today in the midst of this hurried world that surrounds me, to be holy and to be alone and at one with you. I need this time to enable me to be a better person and more helpful to others. Dearest Lord, forgive my faults and make me stronger through your holy words, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." With glory to your name, I pray. Amen.
