O Lord, make Thy law, I entreat Thee, our delight. Plant in our hearts love which is the fulfilling of the law. Teach us to love Thee with our whole will and being, and our neighbor as ourselves. Keep us from dividing Thy commandments into great and small, according to our own blind estimate; but give us grace humbly to acknowledge that whoso trans-gresseth in one point is guilty of the whole law—Amen.

Christina G. Rossetti

Guide me, O Lord, in all the changes and varieties of the world; that in all things that shall h.ippen, i may have an evenness and tranquillity of spirit; that my soul may be wholly resigned to Thy divinest will and pleasure, never murmuring at Thy gentle chastisements and fatherly correction—Amen.

Jeremy Taylor
