For Training Purposes this Life May be Monitored

 

An examination of conscience is good

Thinking about things at the end of each day

Hail Marys mixed in with exasperation

Rough words that should never have been spoken

 

Reading casual cruelties on the InterGossip

Whatever God’s plan might be, that wasn’t it

Gratitude for work, gratitude for meals

Gratitude for peace at the end of the day

 

And as for the occasional bitter cup

Your Mother taught you right: offer it up
