A 17th Century Nun's Prayer

This well-known prayer is one that might be of benefit to all of us as we negotiate our way through life and try to avoid collisions along the way. As it is put we don't expect to be saints but it would be nice to have a few friends at the end. The prayer is preceded by settling down words and a period of one minute to allow you to come into the present moment. Enjoy.

That was special, thank you. The silence was a little long but I enjoyed it all the same

I smile broadly each time I hear this. I see myself in her requests and embrace her mirth with gratitude, that we should not take ourselves too seriously, but keep moving with humility and grace. 🙏 Thank you 🙏

I love her self-depricating authenticity. I detected a sense of humor or at least a bit of good natured self-forgiveness as she prayed to be a better person. I learned more about her in that short prayer than I do spending hours with others. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing that 🙏🕊️💜

I loved that! Thank you for sharing it with us!
❤️🙏💐

I absolutely see the significance of an old prayer in newer times. I can totally relate to this as an older person. I’m going to write it down and use it regular,y. Thank you!
