Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 The Serenity Prayer ================== God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference. Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi =============================== Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace! That where there is hatred, I may bring love. That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness. That where there is discord, I may bring harmony. That where there is error, I may bring truth. That where there is doubt, I may bring faith. That where there is despair, I may bring hope. That where there are shadows, I may bring light. That where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted. To understand, than to be understood. To love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. Note: St. Francis of Assisi, the Founder of the Franciscan Order, born at Assisi in Umbria, in 1181 or 1182 Some Quotations from the Upanishads (BC 800) =========================================== We can never change the world but we can change ourselves and enjoy the world as it is! Who sees all beings in his own Self, and his own Self in all beings, lives in peace. A Quotation from Goethe (1749-1832) ================================== Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.
