Comfort
This prayer was one that had special meaning to Michael. During his final illness, he was given a card with this poem on it. He kept it right by his bed and referred to it often:

God Grant Me the Serenity...
...to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it,
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
