Almighty God,

we thank You for the relaxing weekend You have given us. We have been able to distance ourselves from our everyday worries and gain spiritual peace and physical strength. We thank you for the tranquility, the rejuvenation, the time spent with our loved ones, and the quiet moments in which we could grow closer to You and to each other. Help us to use the strength we gained over the weekend in our everyday lives, in service, in love, and in following Your example.

Amen.
