Help me to remove from my mind every thought or opinion which You would not approve. Grant that I may spend the hours of the day gladly working with You according to Your will. Help me just for today and be with me in it: in the long hours of work, that I may not weary or grow slack in searving You; in conversations, that they may not be to me occasions of uncharitableness; in the day's worries and disappointments, that I may be patient with myself and with those around me; in moments of fatigue and illness, that I may be mindful of others rather than of myself; in temptations; that I may be generous and loyal, so that when the day is over I may lay it at Your feet, with its successes which are all Yours, and its failures which are all my own, and feel that life is real and peaceful and blessed, when spent with You as the Guest of my soul.
