7:35 PM Presentation “The Holiness of a Knight” by David Villegas

• Lord, Help Me to Love
• Lord, make me gentle when I am tired.
  Patient when I am frustrated.
  Merciful when I have been wounded.
  Courageous when love requires sacrifice.
  And humble when no one is watching.
  Make me worthy of the woman who walks beside me.
  Make me worthy of the family You have entrusted to me.
  Make me worthy of the brothers who call me brother.
  And Lord, when my years are finished,
  may the people I leave behind not remember how important I was.
  Let them remember that I loved them.
  Make me holy, Lord—
  not so that people will see me,
  but so that somewhere along the way,
  because they encountered me,
  they encountered a little more of You.
  Amen.
• Lord, Put someone in front of me today, to help me to listen
