Angels, bearers of good tiding, awaken me to joy,to divine presence whenever I experience what is good, true, and beautiful.Let me take great joy in recognizing beauty in the eyes of other good people.It is there if I take the time to really see it.

Silence
Relax and let go for a few minutes and allow your body to feel itself breathing. Let go of the cares of the morning and prepare to face what lies ahead.
Blessing of self: I affirm myself for…
Blessing of the lunch
Bless Lord those that have labored in the fields for this food
Bless those who have provided for me
Bless those who gather
Bless the breaking of the bread
Christ beside me
Christ behind me
Christ around me
Christ at the table
This is a Celtic pattern of midday prayer.
Try it. Blessings
