今日早晚祷言（第十九日）
第十九日 Nineteenth Day
晨祷
天父上帝阿，求祢救我们脱离有碍服事祢、服事他人的一切。
救我们脱离冷漠的心，使我们的手或我们的心对他人的需求绝不袖手旁观。
救我们脱离软弱的意志，脱离不能作决定的优柔寡断，脱离犹豫不决，对已作的决定不能坚持；当内外有试探的声音，使我们能对它说：不。
救我们脱离消极，脱离容易受挫，脱离很快地屈服让步，脱离容让自己被困难的工作所击倒。
求主今日赐我们慷慨助人的爱，坚定的决心，忍耐到底的坚毅。
祈求靠赖我主耶稣基督。阿们。
In the Morning
O God, our Father, deliver us this day from all that would keep us from serving Thee and from serving our fellowmen as we ought.
Deliver us from all coldness of heart; and grant that neither our hand nor our heart may ever remain shut to the appeal of someones need.
Deliver us from all weakness of will; from the indecision which cannot make up its mind; from the irresolution which cannot abide by a decision once it is made; From the inability to say No to the tempting voices which come to us from inside and from outside.
Deliver us from all failure in endeavour; from being too easily discouraged; from giving up and giving in too soon; from allowing any task to defeat us, because it is difficult.
Grant unto us this day the love which is generous in help; the determination which is steadfast in decision; the perseverance which is enduring unto the end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN
晚祷
天父上帝阿，今夜里求祢除去使我们不能入眠的担心和挂虑。帮助我们下决心勇敢地面对那些能面对的事，不去挂虑那些我们做不了的事。
求祢从我们心里除去使我们今夜不得安歇的情感，除去所有的不满足，所有的羡慕和嫉妒，所有徒劳无用的非分的渴望。
求祢从我们肉体除去使我们不得放松的紧张，帮助我们学会倚靠永久膀臂的保抱。
我们将所爱的人交托在祢手中，尽管他们不在我们身边，但我们晓得，祢永远在他们身边。我们也将自己交付祢看顾，无论是在光明中还是在黑暗中，是生是死，我们都得保全。
垂听我们的祷告，靠我主耶稣基督。阿们。
In the Evening
O God, our Father, take from our minds this night the worries and anxieties which would keep us from sleeping. Help us to make up our minds bravely to deal with the things which can be dealt with, and not to worry about the things about which we can do nothing.
Take from our hearts this night the feelings which would keep us from resting; take from us all discontent, all envy and jealousy, all vain and useless longings for the things which are not for us.
Take from our bodies the tension which would keep us from relaxing; and help us to lean back in the clasp of the everlasting arms.
Into Thy hands we commit our loved ones, knowing that, even if they are absent from us, they are for ever present with Thee. Into Thy hands we commit ourselves that in Thy keeping, in light and in dark, in life and in death, we may be safe.
Hear these our prayers, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
