But whosoever shall deny Me before Men, him will I also deny before My Father Who is in Heaven. Never think that I came to cast peace upon the earth; I came not to cast peace, but a sword."

O Lord and Master of my life, take from the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power and idle talk. But rather a spirit of chastity, humble-mindedness, patience and love bestow upon me Thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own failings and not to condemn my brother; for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen

“Love is long sufferering, is kind; love is not jealous; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up; doth not behave unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; covereth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.”
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
