A Prayer

Lord, I pray that you grant me three virtues: to have my fill and never lack; to have the courage needed to be strong; and to have knowledge that I may better know those around me.

Yet, Lord, in your providence, keep me from three evils: having too much that I know not how hunger feels; being so strong that I forget what its like to be afraid; and knowing so much that I cease to love my fellow man.

Amen
