Cesar Chavez (USA, 1927-1993)
Show me the suffering of the most miserable;
So I will know my people's plight.
Free me to pray for others;
For you are present in every person.
Help me to take responsibility for my own life;
So that I can be free at last.
Give me honesty and patience;
So that I can work with other workers.
Bring forth song and celebration;
So that the Spirit will be alive among us.
Let the Spirit flourish and grow;
So that we will never tire of the struggle.
Let us remember those who have died for justice;
For they have given us life.
Help us love even those who hate us;
So we can change the world.
Amen.

"Give me honesty and patience"
Personally I like this sentence. :) We always loose our patience. Sometimes just to a little bit slow to get angry and not to judge others just by a part of story, perhaps the complaints will become lesser and lesser.
