How many times, Lord Jesus, have you renewed my nature!
How many times have you saved me
from the furnace of evil passions burning within me!
O Lord, in truth there is no number
and no measure of your mercies to me.
May I for my part be faithful to you.
May I be humble, not proud;
meek, not irritable;
industrious, not lazy;
merciful, not judgmental;
generous, not mean;
and obedient, not willful.
John Sergieff, (aka John of Kronstadt) 1829 – 1908, Russian Orthodox priest
