Lord,
there’s a beautiful sky
outside
and it looks like
a lovely day.

Thank You for the gift
of a bright spring morning.

Thank You for the gift
of retirement
which enables us
to enjoy this morning’s beauty
at our leisure.

Thank You for the gift
of faith
which enables us
to enjoy such splendour
with You by our side.

Thank You for the gift
of good priests
who are leading us
in our faith.

Thank You for the gift
of today.
May we spend it wisely,
drawing closer to You.
