Two Prayers

Private Prayer [A Morning Prayer]

I awoke to the morning made glorious; Holy is the LORD creator of the universe, maker of galaxies, shaper of worlds, caster of weather, and He who protects and redeems people. I pray through the intercession of the most blessed Virgin of Nazareth, sublime is the Persanctissima in graces. I beg to remain under the protection of St. Michael, repeller of evil, Prince of Army Angelic. I pray through St. Joseph, saintly Church protector and guardian, helper of people. I invoke all the hierarchies of Archangels, Angels and Saints. I beg all the Saints, Blessed Ones and Venerables whose feast day it is, to protect me today, and every day. May all my Angel Guardians and Patron Saints show me their favour. Amen. - written by Wieslaw S. W. Nowak

Bowling Prayer

Lord, as we head out this night, we call upon you to bless us and guide us.

In bowling, as in life, some of our attempts to follow the straight path are destined to go astray. Let us not look upon these incidents as failures, but rather as opportunities for us to see our errors and improve upon ourselves.

Help us to remember, too, Your will. Each of us has a path which you desire us to lead. Though a life-long devotion to bowling may not be that will, help us to remain eternally devoted to You that we may see Your plan and be granted the perseverence necessary to follow Your will.

As we must remain focused on the pins, help us to remain even more diligently focused on You that we may inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

We ask this through Christ, Our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.
