A Prayer by St. Benedict

Gracious and Holy Father,

Give us the wisdom to discover You.

The intelligence to understand You.

The diligence to seek after You.

The patience to wait for You.

The eyes to behold You.

A heart to meditate upon You.

And a life to proclaim You.

Through the power of the Spirit of Jesus, Our Lord. Amen.
