DOK Motto

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Lord, what will you have me do?

THE PRAYER OF THE ORDER

O eternal Father,
you have sent your Son to teach us things pertaining to your heavenly kingdom.
Give your blessing to our Order, wherever it may be throughout the world.
Grant that we, your Daughters, ever may discern your truth
and bear the cross through the battles of our earthly life.
Give us strength to overcome temptation
and the grace to work to spread your kingdom
and to gather your scattered sheep within your fold.
Pour out upon us the sevenfold gift of the Holy Spirit
that we may always remember it is your work we are called upon to do,
that all we think, do or say may be pleasing in your sight.
We ask it all for His sake, our King and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
