A Prayer To My Lord

My Lord,
I offer you my thoughts:
to be fixed on you;
My words:
to have you for their theme;
My actions:
to reflect my love for you;
My sufferings:
to be endured for your greater glory.

I want to do what you ask of me:
In the way you ask,
For as long as you ask,
Because you ask it.

Lord, enlighten my understanding,
Strengthen my will,
Purify my heart,
and make me holy.

Help me to repent of my past sins
And to resist temptation in the future.
Help me to rise above my human weaknesses
And to grow stronger as a Christian.

Amen.

Lord Make Me Your Instrument

Lord, please make me an instrument of your attributes.
Let me share your Divine Power by having great faith in you so that you can manifest your Glory.

Let me share your Divine Wisdom, so that I may know you, so that I may live to do your Divine Will and to serve you with great understanding of my brothers and sisters.

Let me share your Divine Love, so that I can truly love you as you deserve, so that I may be consumed by the passion of worshipping you like the seraphim, so that I become an instrument of your Ardent Charity.

Let me be a true reflection of your attributes in everything that I think, speak and do. Let me see with your eyes, let me speak with your mouth, let me hear always your Divine Word, let me work with your hands, let me walk with your feet so that I may live in your Glorious Presence spreading joyfully your Love everywhere I go physically and spiritually.

Let me share your Divine Spirit until I become one with you.
