"Semoga anda memiliki kebijaksanaan untuk memohon kepada Tuhan:
Agar diberi kemampuan melihat yang benar, keberanian memilih yang benar dan keinginan mengikuti yang benar.
Agar membangun iman bukan keraguan.
Agar dengan penuh harapan menyelesaikan yang bisa dilaksanakan dan tidak digentarkan oleh yang tidak bisa dilaksanakan.
Agar melihat pelbagai kemungkinan baru dan tidak dilumpuhkan oleh kesulitan yang menghalangi.
Agar menemukan tujuan hidup yang bermakna, bukan yang membosankan dan sia-sia.
Agar mengukur nilai-nilai dengan pengabdian pada kepentingan sesama, bukan keuntungan diri sendiri."
