Morning prayer · 15 August
Glory in ordinary tasks
Our Father, light up the small duties of today. Let them shine with the beauty of your face. Help us believe that glory can live in the most ordinary task. We ask this for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
