I found this at the end of a book I received in the mail yesterday and it seems to be good for this time of year when we are beginning new things and planning our community life. The book is Walking Together: Discovering the Catholic Tradition of Spiritual Friendship. It is by Mary DeTurris Poust, Ave Maria Press, 2010.
So often this journey throught life
can feel like a daily struggle,
a race to accomplish more,
buy more, be more.
Today we pray for the wisdom
to take a step back and look
at the bigger picture.
The true meaning of our journey
is not about earthly things but about
matters of the heart
and longings of the spirit.
We open our arms to those companions
who join us on this pilgrimage of love.
We recognize that we are not meant
to walk this road one by one,
but side by side.
