"O thou who art our Father in heaven, may we never willfully turn from you or disbelieve your truth. Take all malice, bitterness and hatred from our lives. May we gain the simple, childlike spirit which trusts and believes, even if it cannot understand. Keep our lives sweet, that our faith may be strong. We ask it in Christ's name. Amen."
