So that I may see the beauty in others.

Lord Jesus, help me to dust out all the many faults,
I have been hiding in the secret corners of my heart.

O God, give me the grace to shop wisely,
So I may purchase eternal happiness
For myself and all others in need of love.

Help me, my Savior, to brew a big kettle of brotherly Love
And serve it with clean, sweet bread of human kindness.

O God, I have prepared my house for you.
Please come into my heart so I may spend the day
And the rest of my life in your presence.
