May I rely on God alone

May I not seek the approval
of the powers of this world
nor let myself be taken in 
by that pride which seeks 
gratification and recognition.  

In the face of those temptations, 
may I put my reliance on God's faithfulness.
May God, and only God, 
be my source of confidence and peace.

(Adapted from remarks by Pope Francis in June 2014.)
