Heavenly Father,

help me to do the best I can as I live my life.

Make me watchful

so that I do not waste the precious time that You have given me,

and not reject the divine grace of faith.

Grant, O Lord, that I will love You with all my heart

and that I will always seek to love and forgive others

like You love and forgive me.

Keep me away from temptation, O God,

and deliver me from all evil.

Amen.
