Prayer for Good Humor by Saint Thomas More
Prayer for Good Humor by Saint Thomas More:
Grant me, O Lord, good digestion, and also something to digest.
Grant me a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.
Grant me a simple soul that knows to treasure all that is good and that
doesn't frighten easily at the sight of evil, but rather finds the means
to put things back in their place.
Give me a soul that knows not boredom, grumblings, sighs and laments,
nor excess of stress, because of that obstructing thing called 'I.'
Grant me, O Lord, a sense of good humor. Allow me the grace to be able
to take a joke to discover in life a bit of joy, and to be able to share it with
others.
Amen!
