<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,
JL

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
