Daily Inspiration
It’s almost Halloween, a time for masks and costumes
and, as always, a time to pray…
Lord,
help us worry not so muchÂ
about the everyday costumes
we put on each time we dress…
Clothes don’t make the man,Â
clothes don’t make the woman:
it’s how our hearts are dressedÂ
that makes us who we are…
Help us take off our masks,
the ones we wear to hideÂ
from others and ourselves
the person you made each of us to be…
Help us find the beauty and the goodnessÂ
beneath our costumes, behind our masks,
in every one around usÂ
and help us, Lord, to love each one we find…
Amen.
