“Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch,
or weep tonight, and give Your angels
and saints charge over those who sleep.
Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Sooth Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones. Shield Your joyous ones.
And all for Your love’s sake.” ~ St. Francis ~
“I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the all glorious Father, may confer on you the spiritual gifts of wisdom and vision, with the knowledge of Him that they bring. I pray that your inward eyes may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope to which He calls you, how rich and glorious is the share He offers you among His people in their inheritance, and how vast are the resources of His power open to us who have faith.”

I usually don't pick a favorite, but this week, I re-read this on many times…"Be calm in arguing;
for fierceness makes error a fault,
and truth discourtesy;
calmness is a great advantage."

What must I do to get my blog listed on your Blogroll? I'm not complaining about being left out, because I don't even *have* a blogroll myself. But I'd like to be included in yours anyway 🙂
"Calmness is a great advantage." I love that. Thanks for these good quotes, Sandra. <3
