 A Prayer of
John Henry Cardinal Newman |
| God created me to do him some definite service; |
|
he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. |
| I have my mission - |
| |
I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next . . . |
| Therefore, I will trust him . . . |
| If I am in sickness, |
| |
my sickness may serve him; |
| |
in perplexity, |
| |
my perplexity may serve him; |
| if I am in sorrow, |
| |
my sorrow may serve him . . . |
| He does nothing in vain; |
| |
he may prolong my life, |
| |
he may shorten it, |
| |
he knows what he is about. |
