There's no need for Lucifer to fall, if only he keeps his mouth shut.

Dear Lord,

Please save me from my big mouth. I beg of you.

Please give me patience.

***

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred . . . let me sow love
Where there is injury . . . pardon
Where there is doubt . . . faith
Where there is despair . . .hope
Where there is darkness . . . light
Where there is sadness . . .joy
Divine Master,
grant that i may not so much seek
To be consoled . . .as to console
To be understood . . .as to understand,
To be loved . . . as to love
For it is in giving . . .that we receive,
It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned
- Saint Francis Prayer

Holy Kaboodle, and I'm not even religious but this *is* good.
HOPELESS. but good.

Hold you tongue, Serpentine.
With all your might. And more.
Hold it down.
