156 157 All pictures in this chapter by © Johann Hisch Closing Prayer Lord, set limits to abundance and let the limits be redundant. Don't let people make fake money, but don't let money make fake people either. Take the last word from the wives and remind the husbands of their first. Give our friends more truth and the truth more friends. Better such officials, businessmen and labourers who are active but not charitable. Give the rulers a better German and the Germans a better government. Lord, make sure that we all go to heaven. But not immediately. New Year's wishes from the parish priest of St Lambert in Münster 1883, printed in the parish newsletter of St Michael, Wemmetsweiler, 37th volume 1/2002
