Monday Prayer Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Holy and loving God in heaven
We praise your Holiness this bright morning
As we express our gratitude with joy in our hearts
For all the bountiful blessing that we savor
Since the day we were born.

Merciful and gracious Lord
We call upon your greatest name
As we ask with repentance in our soul
For the forgiveness of all our trespasses
Since the time we learn to live.

Oh Holy and loving God
Give us today your guidance
And teach us the right ways and means
As we start perfroming our individual tasks
That everything we do or say will glorify you.

Oh kind and forgiving Messiah
Shower us today your blessings
And grant us the peace and harmony
As we work together with colleagues and superiors
That anything good we work on will prosper.

This Monday is the first day of work
Help us to make this day a better one
Hold us steady in our commitments
And change us all into a true christians
Who can live up to your expectations
Amidst all the tribulations and trials
That may come to our daily existence.

All these we pray in your name... Amen.
