GOD, DON'T consent that I the slave driver who bleeds the sheep, nor am I a sheep in the hands of tormentors.

Help me to always tell the truth in the presence of the strong, and to never lie to gain the applause of the weak,

My GOD, if you send me fortune, don't take my happiness.

If you give me strength, don't take my sensitivity.

If it is in the cards for me to prosper, don't permit that I lose my modesty, let me save at least the dignity to be proud.

Help me to appreciate the other side of things, to not accuse my adversaries and hand them more severe punishments that I would give myself.

Don't let me be reached by the illusion of glory when I have great success, nor when I am in despair, or when I feel defeated. Remind me that the experience of a fall may enable me to have a different view of the world.

Oh God!

Make me feel that forgiveness demonstrates strength and that vengeance is proof of weakness.

If you take my fortune, leave hope.

If you take my health, comfort me with the grace of your faith.
And when you infect me with ingratitude and misunderstanding of those like me, create in my soul a force of forgiveness.

Finally Lord, if I forget you, I beg You not to forget me.
