Nothing worth doing can be accomplished in a single lifetime.

Original sin is that thing about man which makes him capable of conceiving of his own perfection and incapable of achieving it.

The prophet himself stands under the judgment which he preaches. If he does not know that, he is a false prophet.

Forgiveness is the final form of love.

God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed.

We have had to learn that history is neither a God nor a redeemer.

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. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.
