and let all the darkness of our souls
vanish before the beams of thy brightness.
Fill us with holy love,
and open to us the treasures of thy wisdom.
All our desire is known unto thee,
therefore perfect what thou hast begun,
and what thy Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer.
We seek thy face,
turn thy face unto us and show us thy glory.
Then shall our longing be satisfied,
and our peace shall be perfect."
(Augustine, 354 - 430)
Sometimes we find wise words from disciples who have gone before us. Augustine wrote this prayer sixteen hundred years ago and the words still ring true today. May you find strength and help through these words today.
God bless you.
Living in Grace
