If you hem in both ends
of your day with prayer,
it won't be so likely to
unravel in the middle.

Praise to Thee, my Lord
for all thy creatures...
St. Francis of Assisi

God Grant Us Hope and Faith and Love,

HOPE for a world
        grown cynically cold
Hungry for power
        and greedy for gold...

FAITH to believe
            when within and without
     There's a nameless fear
        in a world of doubt...

LOVE that is bigger
        than race or creed,
To cover the world
        and fulfill each need...

GOD, GRANT THESE GIFTS
OF FAITH, HOPE and LOVE-
Three things this world
Has so little of...
For only THESE GIFTS
From OUR FATHER ABOVE
Can turn man's sins
From HATRED to LOVE!

Helen Steiner Rice

Blessed is the person
who is too busy to worry
in the daytime and too
sleepy to worry at night.

"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Daddy." the young boy replied excitedly,
"It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.'
