Living with Christ Morning Prayer

St. Vincent de Paul
Grant us O Lord, the gift of modesty.
When we speak, teach us
to give our opinion quietly and sincerely.
When we do well in work or play,
give us a sense of proportion,
that we be neither unduly elated
nor foolishly self-deprecatory.
Help us in success to realize
what we owe to you
and to the efforts of others,
in failure to avoid dejection,
and in all ways to be simple and natural,
quiet in manner and lowly in thought,
through Christ our Lord.
- Joseph L. Cardinal Bernardin
