I have a boy to bring up. Help me perform my task with wisdom, kindness and good cheer. Help me to always to see him clearly, as he is. Let not my pride hide his faults. Let not my fear for him magnify my doubts and fears until I make him doubting and fearful in his turn. Quicken my judgment so that I shall know how to train him to think as a child, to be in all things pure and simple as a child.
I have a boy to bring up. Give me great patience and a long memory. Let me remember the hard places of my own youth, so that I may help when I see him struggling as I struggled then. Let me remember the things that made me glad, lest I, sweating in the toil and strain of life, forget that a child's laughter is the light of life.
I have a boy to bring up. Teach me that love understandeth all things, knows no weakness, tolerates on selfishness. Keep me from weakening my son through granting him pleasures that end in pain, ease of body that brings sickness of soul, and a vision of life that ends in death. Grant that I may love my son wisely and myself not at all.
I have a boy to bring up. Give him the values and beauty and just rewards of industry. Give him an understanding brain and hands that are cunning that he may work out his own happiness.
I have a boy to bring up. Help me to send him into the world with a mission of service. Strengthen my mind and heart that I may teach him that he is his brother's keeper. Grant that he may serve those who know not the need of service, and not knowing, need it the most.
I have a boy to bring up. So guide and direct me that I may do this service of my country, and to my son's happiness. -Angelo Patri

The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that.
