The Oath of Small Love

I shall bear the idiosyncrasies of others with patience.  
 I shall bear the clownish actions of my neighbor with patience.  
 I shall bear the troublesome ways of my neighbor with patience.  
 I shall conquer my moods.  
 I shall conquer my passions.  
 I will mortify my lesser inclinations.  
 I shall strive against my aversions and repugnances.  
 I shall acknowledge my imperfections.  
 I shall take continual pains to keep my soul in equanimity.  
 I shall love my littleness.  
 I shall gently and graciously welcome the contempt and censure of my condition.  
 I shall practice gracious and gentle conversation and actions.

Adapted from St. Francis de Sales, Treatise on the Love of God, Book 12, Chapter 6
