Take a drive to Cad- mus Country Club, phone 986- 0488 Requested 17th Century Nun's Prayer Lord thou knowest better than I know myself that I am growing older and will some day be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's af- fairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of vi- sion, it seems a pity not to use it all, but thou knowest Lord that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details: give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains. They are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is be- coming sweeter as the years go by. I dare not ask for grace enough to enjoy the tales of oth- er's pains, but help me to en- dure them with patience. I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing hu- mility and a lessing cocksure- ness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of oth- ers. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mis- taken. ) Keep me reasonably sweet. 1 do not want to be a saint - some of them are so hard to live with - but a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and talents in unexpected peo- ple. And, give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so. Amen.
