Two of Us: Sharing

 

Reflect

Separately, say the prayer and spend some time reflecting on the questions. 
Write some notes and then share your answers more fully with your spouse.

 

 

Prayer

You made me a good person, Father. 
It is important for You to help me realize that. 
When I fail, and You know that is too often,
it is because I don’t see my goodness. 
In my heart of hearts, I see myself as ordinary. 
That is so wrong, Father. 
How could I be ordinary when I am Your son/daughter? 
Jesus will tell You how I feel.
Amen.
