I have been reading and re-reading this version of St. Teresa’s Prayer almost constantly over the last week. This prayer, combined with my daughter’s juicy kisses and a fair bit of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, has definitely calmed my soul. I am aware that there are those who are suffering much more than I am right now. If that describes you, I hope it brings you as much peace as it has brought me.
May there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.”
On my mission I got that prayer from a Vietnamese investigator, done in beautiful calligraphy. I still have it… somewhere. It is really a great thing to focus on in times of trouble.
I think it’s very good for you to focus on positive meditations/prayers like this. Hang in there…
