Most gracious God, preserve us from the cares of this life
Most gracious God, preserve us from the cares of this life, lest we should be
too much entangled therein; also from the many necessities of the body, lest we
should be ensnared by pleasure; and from whatever is an obstacle to the soul,
lest, being broken with troubles, we should be overthrown. Give us strength to
resist, patience to endure, and constancy to persevere; for the sake of Jesus
Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471)
