Prayer for the Spirit of Mildness
O divine Saviour, who didst converse with Thy Apostles for three years as a father with his children, how much didst Thou not suffer from their wretchedness, from their imperfections and faults, and how often was not their behavior such as should have called forth Thy just anger and indignation! And yet how full of indulgence and condescension Thou wast always for them! No unkind or harsh word ever passed Thy lips. Oh, that I might be like Thee in my behavior toward my children! I must be so if I wish to be Thy disciple and work out my salvation. Let me learn of Thee to be mild of heart. When anger and impatience arise in me at the ill behavior of my children, help me to overcome these emotions. Grant me grace to conquer myself, so that I may remain quite and discrete whenever I have to reprehend or punish; for anger does not work what is just in Thy sight. O most mild Jesus, have mercy on me! Amen
