“Most merciful God, order my day so that I may know what you want me to do, and then help me to do it. Let me not be elated by success or depressed by failure. I want only to take pleasure in what pleases you, and only to grieve at what displeases you.”

“Be Thou my battle shield, sword for the fight; Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight; Thou my soul’s shelter, Thou my high tower: Raise Thou me heavenward, O power of my power…. Thou and Thou only, first in my heart; High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art. “BE THOU MY VISION,” Traditional Irish hymn [PD]”
