Day 6
St. Augustine has written:
“As Christians, our task is to make daily progress toward God. Our pilgrimage on earth is a school in which God is the only teacher, and it demands good students, not one who play truant. In this school we learn something every day. We learn something from commandments, something from examples, and something from sacraments. These things are remedies for our wounds and materials for study.”
Heavenly Father,
we turn to you now with the intentions we hold in our hearts,
as pray as St. Augustine has taught:
Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
enlighten our minds to perceive the mysteries
of the universe in relation to eternity.Spirit of right judgment and courage,
guide us and make us firm in our baptismal decision
to follow Jesus’ way of love.Spirit of knowledge and reverence,
help us to see the lasting value of justice
and mercy in our everyday dealings with one another.May we respect life
as we work to solve problems of family and nation,
economy and ecology.Spirit of God,
spark our faith,
hope and love into new action each day.Fill our lives with wonder and awe
in your presence which penetrates all creation.
Intercede for us, , St. Augustine
That God may favorably hear our plea
And that He may grant us the grace
To accept His will in all things,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
In the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God forever and ever.
Amen.
