A prayer that needs no editing:
God our Father, source of life and freedom, through Your Holy Spirit you gave the Carmelite, Titus Brandsma the courage to affirm human dignity even in the midst of suffering and degrading persecution.
Grant us that same spirit so that, in refusing all compromise with error we may always and everywhere give coherent witness to Your abiding presence among us.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
Clear and to the point. Clean copy.
