Lighten Up! I'm a devout agnostic and even I wasn't offended.

<begin Rant mode>Lest we become deluged by by prayers to the "Invisible Pink
Unicorn" or the "Multi-Tentacled Purple Squid', not to mention many other
slightly more mainstream religions, I think such chants and neditations
should be left off list. I would like to think that educated, highly
technical people would have no need for such mindless superstitions, but
alas, I am constantly reminded that while people can be VERY intelligent in
one area, they are extremely deficient in others.<end Rant mode>
Can we please keep our respective religious beliefs off line and all focus
on our goal of certification?
thank you,

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
