Allow me to serve others with a joyful heart, never keeping score, always giving; never expecting to receive. Allow me to give of myself, to give of my talents and of my goods, to give of my time and of my energy, to give of my heart and of my soul. Help me to understand the needs of others, never making fun of others, never putting them down, never saying mean things, help me to be always loving, always forgiving, always caring. Allow me to serve others as You serve, with gentleness, compassion and tenderness, never lessening the worth of another, choosing to extend help to those in need, like You have repeatedly shown to me.

Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
