Dear Lord…
Grant me the grace to fully accept the concept of inequality of souls in Heaven, in accordance with what Saint Therese of Lisieux has revealed for mankind, so that I will not consider myself useless in the diverse but unified community in Heaven.
Grant me the grace to resist all forms of temptation, especially violent and lustful, and to settle disputes in a civil manner with people who antagonize me. Grant enlightenment upon those people who still regard me as a bitter rival because of past misunderstandings so that I will not have any excuse to harbor resentment unto them.
Grant me the grace to accept my failures and accomplishments in the most gracious manner.
Grant me the grace to fully understand why indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations (including the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki) in war and the escalation of arms as a measure of earthly supremacy are and will always be intrinsically evil, despite myriads of justifications to achieve good ends.
Grant me the grace to understand that mankind is not measured by material wealth.
Grant me the grace to reconcile with members of my immediate family, so that they will understand Your teachings more clearly and continue to receive the Sacraments properly.
Grant me the grace to reconcile with my classmates, schoolmates, and other friends, old and new, far and near, Catholic and non-Catholic, especially those who had humiliated me and whom I had humiliated in the past.
Grant me the grace to begin my post-graduate life with a fresher dignity, in spite of the supposed incompetences that I have done anywhere, even on the World Wide Web, because I did not fully understand myself and other people.
Grant me the grace to contribute to the reforms of my country, the Republic of the Philippines, so that my countrymen would not need to work abroad just to get a higher salary, that candidates for next year’s congressional, gubernatorial, and mayoral elections be voted not for popularity but for diligence and good platforms, that the diverse ethnic groups of the Philippines, particularly those in Visayas and Mindanao, be given better ideas for the progress of their constituent provinces, and that we become responsible citizens of the country and of Your domain.
Grant me the grace to realize my goals to become a developer of wholesome video games and motion pictures and writer of morally-stable alternative histories and dramatic thrillers (even I be considered a late bloomer to those professions), so that my countrymen will never be used to reading, watching, playing, and listening to anything that glorifies and condones indecency and immorality.
I ask all these graces through Christ our Lord. Amen.
