In honor of St. Benedict . . .

Prayer of St. Benedict

Gracious and holy God,

give me wisdom to perceive you,

diligence to seek you,

patience to wait for you,

eyes to behold you,

a heart to meditate upon you,

and a life to proclaim you;

through the power

of the Spirit

of Jesus Christ

our Savior.

Amen
