EXAMPLE:

La Plegaria de la Serenidad

Dios, dadme la serenidad
para aceptar las cosas que no puedo cambiar;
valentía para cambiar las cosas que si  puedo;
y la sabiduría para saber la diferencia.

Viviendo un día a la vez;

Disfrutando un momento a la vez,
Aceptando las dificultades como el camino a la paz;
Tomando como El lo hizo, este mundo pecador tal como es, no como yo lo quisiera;
Confiando que El corregirá todas las cosas si me someto a su voluntad;
Que sea razonablemente feliz en esta vida
y supremamente feliz con El por siempre en la próxima...

 

 


una plegaria favorita por el gran teólogo y filosofo Americano Reinhold Niebuhr  

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next...

 

a favority prayer by the great American  theologean and philosopher-Reinhold Niebuhr
