Page eeeeeeg A YOUTH'S PRAYER

0 Lord, give me what it takes to be a holy youth . . . 0

Give me courage to do what is hard; courage to say no to singacourage to hold off the quitter in me.

Giva me a clean mind and clean 3 each; clean eyes and clean hands. Let me cherish cleanses, and recognize that it brings happiness. Let me appre- ciate that is purity all good things grow.

Give me a gift for kindness,

so I may never hrut an- other youth. Teach me to control my temper and my tongue, so they do not become the instuments of cruelty. I know my own importance, Lord; but let me never foil to see that others have importance, too.

Give me strength of sgirit to defeat self-pity. If I am lonesome, lead me to knowledge that to be loved I must be loveeble; that I will have no real friends until I earn them.

Give me the bigness I will need to be Cheerfully fibedient. Remove from my personality a sullen spirit. Teach me to take orders, so that some day I will know how to give them reasonably.

Give me zest and drive to conguer laziness. Never let me feel that I can be served without serv- ing, or get without giving. Instruct my heart in love of work, so I may know the Joy of rest.

Give me the peace of mind

which comes from knowing ' that I will never lead

another to sin. By Your grace, may no one be cheapened because he kept my company. Let all who love me, learn to love You more.

Give me, finally, such mm and grggg, that You will find in me a temple which will find in me a temple which will please You as Mary pleased You. AMEN.

Francis Gallant

P.S. Give me strength to look beyond people’s faults so that I may attend to their needs.
