O Lord my God,
Make me submissive without protest,
Poor without discouragement,
Chaste without regret,
Patient without complaint,
Humble without posturing,
Cheerful without frivolity,
Mature without gloom,
And quick-witted without flippancy
Grant that I may know what You require me to do.
Bestow upon me the power to accomplish Your will,
As is necessary and fitting for the salvation of my soul.

–St Thomas Aquinas
