Thursday Prayer

This is my prayer to You, O God--strike, strike at the root of poverty in my heart.

Give me the strength to bear lightly my joys and sorrows.

Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.

Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.

Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.

Give me the strength to surrender my strength to Your will with love. Amen.
