The Spirit to Know You

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.
