St. Thomas More Prayer
Give me Your grace, good Lord, to set the world at nought, to set my mind fast upon You. And not to hang upon the blast of men’s mouths.
To be content to be solitary. Not to long for worldly company, little and little utterly to cast off the world, and rid my mind of all the business thereof.
Gladly to be thinking of God, piteously to call for His help, to lean unto the comfort of God, busily to labor to love Him.
To have continually in mind the passion that Christ suffered for me; for His benefits incessantly to give Him thanks.
To think my most enemies my best friends, for the brethren of Joseph could never have done him so much good with their love and favor as they did him with their malice and hatred.
