March Twenty-Fourth

O LORD, we beseech Thee to bless and prosper this Thy household; grand us sweet reasonablnes in all our dealings with one another; make us large-hearted in helping and generous in criticizing; keep us from unkind words and from unkind silences. Make us quick to understand the needs and feelings of others; and grant that living in the brightness of Thy presence we may bring Thy sunshine into cloudy places - amen.

October The Tenth

HELP me to resolve, in Thy strength, that I will take willingly and sweet-temperedly, as part of Thy loving discipline, all that may come to me today of pain or annoyance, or crossing of my will, or doing without - Amen.
