Gracious and Holy Father, Please give me: intellect to understand you,
reason to discern you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you,
a spirit to know you, a heart to meditate upon you, ears to hear you,
eyes to to see you, a tongue to proclaim you, a way of life pleasing to you,
patience to wait for you and perseverance to look for you. Grant me a perfect end,
your holy presence, a blessed resurrection and life everlasting.
