A Short Memory

God is true: he has a long memory for his own promises and a short memory for my failures to keep my own.

Grant me the grace to put my trust in my God's fidelity rather than my own short-sightedness.

Teach me to hear and to live the words I pray.

Make me walk in the ways of truth and beauty today.

Let us strive for purity of heart, poverty of spirit,
and for the character of little children
and we will be threefold blessed.

-- Blessed Peter Favre
