The Week’s Chores

A New Week
In the old days there was a main chore to do on each day of the week. I found this the other day, and thought we could all learn something from it. But it seems to me that I need to do all those chores every day.

Monday - Wash Day
Lord, help me wash away all my selfishness and vanity so I may serve you with perfect humility through the week ahead.

Tuesday - Ironing Day 
Dear Lord, help me iron out all the wrinkles of prejudice I have collected through the years so that I may see the beauty in others.

Wednesday - Mending Day
My God, help me mend my ways so I will not set a bad example for others

Thursday - Cleaning Day
Lord Jesus, help me to dust out all the many faults I have been hiding in the secret corners of my heart.

Friday - Shopping Day
Dear God, give me the grace to shop wisely so I may purchase eternal happiness for myself and all others in need of love.

Saturday - Cooking Day
Help me, my Savior, to brew a big kettle of brotherly love and serve it with clean, sweet bread of human kindness.

Sunday - The Lord's Day
My God, I have prepared my house for you. Please come into my heart so I may spend the day and the rest of my life in your presence.

I’ve noticed that the only time in life when someone does not want advice is when they are young.
And that’s when they need it the most.
