The stoning of Saint Stephen provides an example of wrath, as well as of meekness, its opposite virtue. Painting by Rembrandt, Canto 15. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Prayer to achieve Meekness
Father in heaven, provide me enough meekness to keep me friendly, enough meekness to keep me dependent on you, enough accomplishment to keep me eager, enough failure to keep me humble, enough faith to drive away rebellion, enough doubt to keep me learning what you desire, enough hope so that I keep on looking for better ways to serve you, enough sense to know when I have found them. And when I’ve done all I can do in one day, the best I can, help me to realize I am your child.
