Keep us, O God, from all pettiness.
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with faultfinding
and leave off all self-seeking.

without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment,
and always be generous.
Let us always take time for all things,
and make us grow calm, serene and gentle.
