A few weeks ago I wrote about attending the Women's Conference 2008 in Long Beach, CA, where First Lady of California Maria Shriver gave a speech (about aging, finding real courage and becoming your authentic self) that had everyone on the verge of tears.
She also mentioned that part of her daily routine is to say Saint Theresa’s Prayer, which she'd read at Tim Russert's memorial service in June.
Because tomorrow is a day to give thanks and focus on the gifts that we have, I thought I'd share this with you.
Saint Theresa’s Prayer
May today there be Peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this Presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
