St. Thomas More Prayer for Good Humor
I recently saw the movie, Pope Francis: A Man of His Word in theatre and really enjoyed it. A unique movie style, and a unique insight into the man who is pope. At the end, he shares a word of encouragement to pray a prayer penned by St. Thomas More - a prayer for good humor. I would agree, we all could do with a health does of this. :) So here goes:
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.
Amen. :)
