& MARY STEWART COLLECT | | Keep us O Lord from pettiness; let us | be large in thought, word and deed. | Let us be done with fault finding and | leave off self seeking. | | May we put away<all pretence and | meet each other face to face, without self pity and without prejudice. | May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. | Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, gentle; Teach us to put into action our better impulses straight forward and unafraid. | Grant that we may realize that it is the _ | little things that create differences; that in the big things in life we are one: And may we strive to touch and to know the great human heart common to us all, and O Lord God let us not forget to be kind. â€"Mary Stewart.
