Grant to us, Lord,
The delight of inward happiness and serenity
Which comes of living close to Thee.
Daily renew in us the sense of joy
And let Your Eternal Spirit dwell in our souls and bodies,
Filling every corner of our hearts with Light and Grace,
So that, carrying with us the infection of a good courage,
We may be diffusers of life,
And may meet all dangers and difficulties, even death itself,
With courageous and high-hearted happiness,
giving You thanks always for all things;
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
