Tuesday of the fifth week of Lent

For us to be brothers means to grow in communion and in unity, overcoming privileges and distinctions,  in a spirit of participation and co-responsibility Carmelite Constitution -19.3

"Lord, help me today and every day to curb my tongue, control my temper and watch my words. Surround me in peace so that situations will not activate an angry response. Help me to think before I react, to whisper a short prayer of peace before I respond, to take just a second to think before I say something I regret. Dear Lord, let my home and workplace be a haven of peace and joy, not one of tension and anxiety. Let my family and colleagues respect me not fear me."
