Serenity Prayer (For Happiness in Aging)
When my eyes grow dim,
grant, Lord, that I may see You even more closely.
When my hearing starts to fail,
grant, Lord, that I may be more attentive to Your Voice calling me.
When my steps slow down,
grant me, Lord, the strength to carry on
by accepting your help.
When my heart beats faster,
grant me, Lord, the grace to realise at last
that it beats in unison with Yours.
AMEN.
