Jesus, you always expected the best of others, but you never tried to make them into something they weren't. You were gentle and strong, reasonable at all times, even though others didn't always understand. I want to accept myself, others, and the life I am given with realistic expectations. Teach me gentle sanity, quiet delight in God, myself, and others. Amen
(Benedict's Way, p. 116)
