O Lord, whose way is perfect, help us, I pray Thee, always to trust in Thy goodness: that walking with Thee and following Thee in all simplicity, we may possess quiet and contented minds; and may cast all our care on Thee, for Thou carest for us—Amen.

Christina G. Rossetti

O Lord, if only my will may remain right and firm towards Thee, do with me whatsoever it shall please Thee, For it cannot be anything but good, whatsoever Thou shait do with me. If it be Thy will I should be in darkness, be Thou blessed; and if it be Thy will I should be in light, be Thou again blessed. If Thou vouchsafe to comfort me, be Thou blessed ; and. if Thou wilt have mc afflicted, be Thou ever equally blessed— Amen.

Thomas A. Kempis
