Isa 53 10-13


While Yahweh desired the crushing of the one he weakened,
if with his whole person he lays down a reparation offering,
He’ll see offspring, he’ll prolong his life,
and Yahweh’s desire will succeed in his hand.
Out of his personal trouble, when he sees he will be sated;
by his acknowledgement my servant will show many
that he is indeed in the right, when he bears their wayward acts.
Therefore I’ll give him a share with the many;
he’ll share out the numerous as spoil,
In return for the fact that he exposed his person to death,
when he let himself be numbered with the rebels,
When he was the one who carried the wrongdoing of many people,
and was appealing for the rebels.

God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship 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 forever in the next.

Amen.
