O
my God, fill my soul with holy joy, courage and strength to serve
You. Enkindle Your love in me and then walk with me along the next
stretch of road before me. I do not see very far ahead, but when I
have arrived where the horizon now closes down, a new prospect will
open before me, and I shall meet it with peace.
