To begin and end every day on my knees
In gratitude for all that has been, is and will be
For the gift of friendship and family
In times of sorrow and in times of joy
In times of plenty and times of need
In times of pleasure and in times of pain
For the glory of God’s name,
For the enligntenment of the earth and the common good of man
Guide me ask neither for riches nor fame for myself
But peace for my enemies and friends
But a spirit of service towards my neighbour
That I may walk in humility and courage and love
On the straight path of truth, dignity and hard work
That’s what I ask of you today lord
To remind me, and help me see in every moment and everyone
Even when it is hidden by the thorns of life’s circumstances
That, “that which causes the rose to bloom, is also within me and them
Amen/So-Say-We-All
