Heavenly Father, on this special day, I give you praise for the gift of an extra day to honor and serve you. Help me to make the most of this time by living in accordance with your will. Grant me the grace to forgive, to love deeply, and to act justly in all things. Let your Spirit guide my thoughts and words so that I may bring comfort and hope to those in need. Thank you for the gift of your presence in my life. May this day bring me closer to you. I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
