Basil's Prayer

Basil Wenceslas and Anselm Samuel are playing checkers. Suddenly Basil jumped up, ran to the Icon corner, crossed himself and said,

"Jesus, protect me. Protect my Mom and Dad and all the people who protect me, and all the people you love, and all the things you made. You protect because you are good. Amen."

He has now returned to the checkers game.
