Teach me, O God, so to use all the circumstances of my life today that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin:

• Let me use disappointment as material for patience.
• Let me use success as material for thankfulness.
• Let me use trouble as material for perseverance.
• Let me use danger as material for courage.
• Let me use reproach as material for long suffering.
• Let me use praise as material for humility.
• Let me use pleasures as material for temperance.
• Let me us pain as material for endurance.
