One of Michele's favorite readings was the Serenity Prayer. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference; living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardships as a pathway to peace; Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will, so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You in the next. Amen.
