A Prayer for November

Thank you, Lord, for this day. 
May I live it in the spirit of the gospel, Looking on everyone I meet  with friendliness and compassion. 
May I live it also in care for the earth, given to us to enjoy; may I be  grateful for all the earth gives me. 
Give joy and peace to all I meet this day. 
I pray this with Mary, mother of the Church. 
AMEN.
