Cardinal Richard Cushing's Prayer of Submission and Relevance

Dear God,

Help me be a good sport in this game of life.  I don't ask for an easy place in the line up. Just put me where You need me. 

I'll only ask that I can give You 100% of all I have. If the hard drives seem to come my way, I thank You for the compliment.

Help me remember that You never send a player and have him do more than he can handle. 

Help me, Oh, Lord, to accept the bad breaks as part of the game. 

And may I always play the game on the square no matter what the others do. 

Help me study the books so that I can know the rules. 

Finally, God, if the natural turn of events go against me and I am benched for sickness or old age, please help me to accept that as part of the game, too. 

Keep me from whimpering or squealing that I was framed or that I ruined a deal, and when I finish the final inning I ask for no laurels. All I want is to believe that in my heart I played as well as I could. 

Amen !
