JULY 19 — Serving With A Smile Goes A Long Way

Today’s passage:
“It is high time that the ideal of success
should be replaced by the ideal of service.”
—Albert Einstein

Today’s prayer:
“Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”
—St. Francis of Assisi
