Keep us, O God, from pettiness;
let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with faultfinding
and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretenses
and meet each other, face to face,
without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment
and always generous.
Let us take time for all things;
make us to grow [...]

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ
for all the benefits which thou has given me
for all the pains and insults which thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother,
may I know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly.
Amen.

Lord seek us, Lord find us
In Thy patient care,
Be Thy love before us, behind us
Lest he bait a snare,
Lest he forge a chain to bind us,
Lest he speak us fair,
Turn not from us, call to mind us,
Find, embrace us, hear.
Be Thy love before us, behind us,
Round us everywhere.

I want to teach my students how to live this life on earth,
face its struggles and its strife and improve their worth,
not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow,
but how to choose the proper path wherever they may go,
to understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong,
and gather all the [...]

Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner.
I have done many things that don’t please you.
I have lived my life for myself.
I am sorry and I repent.
I ask you to forgive me.
I believe that you died on the cross for me, to save me.
You did what I could not do for myself.
I come to you [...]

Lord, pour out on us the spirit of understanding, truth and peace,
help us to strive with all our hearts to know what is pleasing to you, and when we know your will, make us determined to do it.

Grant to me, O Lord,
to know what I ought to know,
to love what I ought to love,
to praise what delights thee most,
to value what is precious in thy sight,
to hate what is offensive to Thee.
Do not suffer me to judge according to the sight of my eyes,
nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of [...]

My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to [...]
