I will this day try to live

a simple sincere and serene life,

Repelling promptly

every thought of discontent,anxiety,

discouragement, impurity and self seeking.

Cultivating cheerfulness,

magnanimity, charity

and the habit of holy silence.

Exercising economy in expenditure,

carefulness in conversation,

diligence in appointed service,

fidelity to every trust

and a childlike trust in God

Bishop John St. Vincent.
