The Gift That Is Ours
"O to have a Father in heaven, how glorious and holy and great that is! O to have a Spouse in heaven, how holy, beautiful, and lovable! O to have such a Brother, how holy and how loved, how pleasing and lowly, peaceful and sweet and lovable and desirable above all things! And O to have such a Son, who laid down his life for his sheep and who prayed to the Father for us saying: 'Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name.' (Jn 17:11)." --St. Francis, Letter to All the Faithful, Second Version
Like Francis we should pray that those the Lord has brought into our life should remain faithful to Him.
