The following prayer was written by Pope Francis. I love the meaning behind every statement he makes:
o "The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches. They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports.
o This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
o Do not not criticize your body too much;
o Do not complain excessively;
o Do not lose sleep over bills;
o Make sure to hug your loved ones;
o Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless;
o Material goods must be earned by each person - do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance;
o You are waiting for too much - Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect. Listen, perfection does not exist;
o A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here. Here, we are given an opportunity to learn. So, make the most of this trial of life and do it now.
o Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you;
o Respect - do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
o Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely and leave the rest in the hands of the Creator"
This is such a beautiful prayer. Thank you for sharing. I love all the points, but my favorite points in this prayer are number six and the last one "...live more intensely..."
