Prayer

The prayer is attributed to Mary Stuart:
Keep us o God, from all pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault-finding, and leave off all self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense, and meet each other face to face without self pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things, and make us to grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight forward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize that it is the little things of life that really create differences; that in the big things in life, we are as one.
And let us not forget to be kind, Lord.
