Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 From another list.... POINTING THE FINGER The Sufi Bayazid says this about himself:"I was a revolutionary when I was young, and all my prayer to God was:'Lord give me the energy to change the world.'""As I approached middle age and realized that half my life was gonewithout my changing a single soul, I changed my prayer to: 'Lord, giveme the grace to change all those who come in contact with me. Just myfamily and friends, and I shall be content.'""Now that I am an old man and my days are numbered, my one prayer is,'Lord, give me the grace to change myself.'If I had prayed for this right from the start I should not have wastedmy life."Anthony De Mello The Song of the Bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
