Math prayerLord, we thank You a hundredfold for the infinite love and care that You have given us. May we, in return, multiply it with love and respect and add more faith. Subtract the worldly desires and evil works in our minds and hearts and divide Your given talents to all of us. To sum it all, may we be united as one in Your family. Amen.
