Saint Bartholomew, after a composition by Pierre Legros II, (after 1738) (The Met)

LORD, let me use the talents, the gifts, and the abilities, that come from You, that will return to You, but that You have lent me for the time being—by Your Will and Your Will alone, by no merit or credit of my own—with maximum effectiveness, maximum efficiency, and bold humility—for the salvation of souls—all for Your Glory.

Yes.     Amen.     So be it.     I believe.
