A Creed to Live By
Don&#8217;t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us are special.
Don&#8217;t take fore granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life.

Mourn too, with those who suffer:
with the sick, the lonely and depressed
with the anxious and those who have no friends
with the apparent failures of the world.
Be aware of them, care for them as best you can,
suffer with them, pray with them, weep with them.
