In Memory of a Mother

I remember thee in this solemn hour,
my dear Mother. I remember the days when thou didst dwell on earth, and thy tender love watched over me like a guardian angel. Thou hast gone from me, but the bond which unites our souls can never be severed; thin image lives within my heart. May the merciful Father reward thee for the faithfulness and kindness thou hast ever shown me; may He lift up the light of His countenance upon thee and grant thee eternal peace.
Amen

The Serenity Prayer

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.
