Calm our troubled hearts; give us peace. O Lord, calm the waves of this heart, calm its tempests! Calm yourself, O our souls, so that the divine can act in you! Calm yourself, O our souls, so that God is able to repose in you, so that his peace may cover you, and his grace forgive and free you!

we pray. Amen.

35. for they have struggled beside me in the work of the gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

36. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

37. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

38. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

39. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about
these things.

40. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
