Grant me,
Great Encourager,
the will to make
an Act of Courage;
determining to stay
in the Light of Hope;
to wear gentleness
as a cloak, in a world
that glorifies armor;
to take up a vocation
of Joy, in a world
hell-bent on anger
and tempted to despair.
God of the Holy Fool
and the Little Flower;
in Your Grace, grant me
the power to live
a foolish little life;
sweet with the fragrance
of Divine Love; soft
with Compassion.
Amen.
