This is the prayer that all of the volunteers pray before heading out to their volunteer positions:
Prayer Before Leaving for the Apostolate
Dear Lord, the great healer, I kneel before you, since every perfect gift must come from you. I pray give skill to my hands, clear vision to my mind, kindness and meekness to my heart. Give me singleness of purpose and strength to lift up a part of the burden of my suffering fellow man and a true realization of the priviledge that is mine. Take from my heart all guile and worldliness that with the faith of a child I may rely on you. Amen
I love this prayer. More and more each day I can see how this prayer is working in me through my assignment at Shanti Dan. As I work with the girls I am learning their personalities and that helps me to know better when I am reaching them.
