Prayer by Saint Augustine
I beg of you, my God, let me know you and love you so that I may be happy in you. And though I cannot do this fully in this life, yet let me improve from day to day till I may do so to the full. Let me know you more and more in this life, that I may know you perfectly in heaven.
Let me know you more and more here, so that I may love you perfectly there, so that my joy may be great in itself here, and complete in heaven with you. O Truthful God, let me receive the happiness of heaven which you promise so that my joy may be full. In the meantime, let my mind think of it, let my tongue talk of it, let my heart long for it, let my mouth speak of it, let my soul hunger after it, let my flesh thirst after it, let my whole being desire it, until such time as I may enter through death into the joy of my Lord, there to continue forever, world without end.
Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
Amen.
Lord Jesus, Our Savior, let us come to you.
Our hearts are cold; Lord, warm them with your selfless love.
Our hearts are sinful; cleanse them with your precious blood.
Our hearts are weak; strengthen them with our joyous Spirit.
Our hearts are empty; fill them with your divine presence.
Lord Jesus, our hearts are yours; possess them always and only for yourself.
Amen.
