内心宁静的关键在于：接受无法改变的事，改变应该改变的事；具有智慧，区分这两者的不同，过好每一天，享受每一刻。

《宁静祷文》

上帝，请赐予我们恩典，

让我们安然接受无法改变的事；

赐予我们勇气，

去改变那些应当改变的事；

并赐予我们智慧，

去辨别这两者的不同。

过好每一天，

享受每一刻，

将苦难视为通往平安之路；

像耶稣那样，

接纳这个现实而充满罪恶的世界，

而不是按照我的意愿去改造它；

相信如果我顺服您的旨意，

您必将万事归正；

使我今生能获得适度的快乐，

并能在来世与您同享永恒而极致的喜乐。

阿门。

Serenity Prayer

God, give us grace to accept with serenity

the things that cannot be changed,

Courage to change the things

which should be changed,

and the Wisdom to distinguish

the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,

Enjoying one moment at a time,

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

Taking, as Jesus did,

This sinful world as it is,

Not as I would have it,

Trusting that You will make all things right,

If I surrender to Your will,

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,

And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.
