- Provide guidance in decision making,
- allow the individual through his intercession to remain calm in all the required moments and
- bless your neighbor as yourself with the virtue of wisdom.
(…) Lord, grant me serenity to accept everything that I cannot change, strength to change what I am capable of changing and wisdom to understand the difference (…)
Serenity Prayer
Living from day to day; enjoying every moment; coping with deprivation as a path to peace; accepting this impure world as it is and not as I think it should be, as Jesus did on earth: thus, trusting that you will always do good; Thus, surrendering myself to Your will, I can be reasonably happy in this life and achieve supreme happiness at Your side in the next. Amen.
