Give me courage to resist, patience to endure, constancy to persevere.
Grant, in place of all consolations of the world, the most sweet unction [soothing calm] of Thy Spirit, and in place of carnal love, pour into me the love of Thy Name.
A prayer of Thomas a Kempis
(The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime, p. 34)
