Thy love,O Christ my Lord.
My confidence:
Thou art able to keep that which I have committed unto Thee.

To do Thy will,O God.

That which I would not choose,but which Thy love appoints.
My prayer:
Conform my will to Thine.
My motto:

The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance.
"Teach us,good Lord,to serve thee as thou deservest ,to give and not count the cost,to fight and not heed the wounds,to toil and not seek for rest,to labor and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do Thy will,O Lord our God."
