O Lord, give us the wisdom to know ourselves, the humility to accept ourselves as we really are, and the courage and independence to defend what we know to be right.
Help us to respect the need of others, being always ready to dedicate our own talents to their service.
Give us the strength to suffer the trials and tensions of life with fortitude, and the vision to see through suffering to the peace which lies beyond.
May we, by our tolerance, be a constant support to each other, and a source of strength to our families, whom we commend to your care.
