Pray St. John of the Cross’ “Prayer of Peace” to calm your mind

O Blessed Jesus,

grant me stillness of soul in Thee.

Let Thy mighty calmness reign in me.

Rule me, O thou King of gentleness,

King of peace. Give me control,

control over my words, thoughts and actions.

From all irritability, want of meekness,

want of gentleness, O dear Lord, deliver me.

By thine own deep patience give me patience,

stillness of soul in Thee. Make me in this,

and in all, more and more like Thee.

Amen.
