Meaningful Prayers

This was quoted by Blessed Pope John Paul I during one of the few general audiences he led at the Vatican on September 13, 1978.

‘Lord, take me as I am, with my defects and shortcomings,

but make me become, what you want me to be.

Another similar prayer was shared by Fr Mychal Judge OFM Cap, one of the first victims of September 11, 2001, who was the chaplain of the NYC Fire Department.

Lord, take me where You want me to go.
Let me meet who You want me to meet.
Tell me what You want me to say.
And keep me out of Your way.
