A Lector's prayer...

Merciful Father help me to follow;
lead me to Thy eternal meadow
where life-giving and healing water flow
be my Guide, my Light and let me glow.

With you by my side I will walk;
Father be with me like a dove
hovering and watching while I talk
to spread and share the message of Love.

I will follow Thee and Thy ways
so Thou will be with me always
enlighten me, make me not to falter
guide me, be with me, now, here and after.
