The Use Of The Right Word, The

Lord, Where We Are Wrong, Make Us Willing To Change; Where We Are Right, Make Us Easy To Live With.

When We Long For Life Without Difficulties, Remind Us That Oaks Grow Strong In Contrary Winds And Diamonds Are Made Under Pressure.

The Aim Is Not Therefore To Liberate Some 'essential Self' By Throwing Off The Burden Of Government And The State, But To Develop The Self In Creative And Voluntary Relations With Others.

We Pray Thee, O Christ, To Keep Us Under The Spell Of Immortality. My We Never Again Think And Act As If Thou Were Dead. Let Us More And More Come To Know Thee As A Living Lord Who Hath Promised To Them That Believe: "because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also." Help Us To Remember That We Are Praying To The Conqueror Of Death, That We May No Longer Be Afraid Nor Dismayed By The World's Problems And Threats, Since Thou Hast Overcome The World. In Thy Strong Name, We Ask For Thy Living Presence And Thy Victorious Power. Amen.

Teach Us, O Lord, The Disciplines Of Patience, For To Wait Is Often Harder Than To Work.
