Re: Study Habits Part 2

[gwakin]

this is strictly theological piccadillo.... but it's the 'Prayer of St. Francis.'  disclaimer- Contrary to popular belief, we RCs worship neither the saints nor the pope, so semantical inaccuracies like this tend to make some of us a little edgy.
Seems appropriate that we can add hard work and study to a virtuous, principled life prayer... the only thing we can't really claim is the Franciscan vow of 'poverty, chastity, and obedience', especially if we're studying for a certification that will allow us to earn $120K/yearly and above.

Prayer to St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow
love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is
sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to
console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it
is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is
in dying that we are born again to eternal life; it is in studying that we
pass certification tests
