GreatDeliverer, she whose heart knows no limits,

renewin me the spirit of benevolence that seeks

notafter its own reward but does good for good's

sake. The world is a much lovelier place when

yourkindness flows through our hearts, reaching

outto those in need.  Take my hand, and guide my

way. Let it begin today.  Amen.
