Education in Faith

St Thomas More

June 22nd was the Memorial of St Thomas More (1478-1535), a lawyer and humanist, who died defending what he believed in.

As we head into the holidays, we share one his prayers, a timely reminder to pay attention to what is important :

Prayer for Good Humour

Grant me oh Lord, good digestion,

and also something to digest.

Grant me a healthy body, and

the necessary good humour to maintain it.

Grant me a simple soul that knows

to treasure all that is good

and that doesn’t frighten easily at the sight of evil,

but rather finds the means to put things

back in their place.

Give me a soul that knows not boredom,

grumbles, sighs, and laments,

nor excess of stress, because of that

obstructing thing called “I.”

Grant me O Lord, a good sense of humour,

Allow me the grace to be able to take a joke

to discover in life a bit of joy,

and to be able to share it with others.
