Most Gracious Lord

Most gracious Lord,

• I implore you to keep me from the cares of this life, lest I find myself entangled in them;
• from the body's wants, lest I become enslaved to them;
• from every obstacle of the soul, lest I break under the anxiety and utterly collapse.

(Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 3, Chapter 26, p. 116)
