GOD, GRANT ME THE GLORY OF
"THY GIFT"

GOD, WIDEN MY VISION SO I MAY SEE
THE AFFLICTIONS YOU HAVE SENT TO ME-
NOT AS A CROSS TOO HEAVY TO BEAR
THAT WEIGHS ME DOWN IN GLOOMY DESPAIR-
NOT AS SOMETHING TO HATE AND DESPISE
BUT A GIFT OF LOVE SENT IN DISGUISE-
SOMETHING TO DRAW ME CLOSER TO YOU
TO TEACH ME PATIENCE AND FORBEARANCE, TOO-
SOMETHING TO SHOW ME MORE CLEARLY THE WAY
TO SERVE YOU AND LOVE YOU MORE EVERYDAY-
SOMETHING PRICELESS AND PRECIOUS AND RARE
THAT WILL KEEP ME FOREVER SAFE IN THY CARE
AWARE OF THE SPIRITUAL STRENGTH THAT IS MINE
IF MY SELFISH, SMALL WILL IS LOST IN THINE!

BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE
ANOTHER, FOR LOVE IS OF GOD;
AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS
BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD.

WE OUGHT NOT TO BE WEARY OF DOING LITTLE
THINGS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHO REGARDS
NOT THE GREATNESS OF THE WORK,
BUT THE LOVE WITH WHICH IT IS PERFORMED.
