Almighty God, merciful Father, and my good Lord,
give me heart-piercing goodness and humility...
Help me to love You and pray to You,
praise You, and meditate upon You.
May I act and think in all things according to Your will,
purely, soberly, devoutly, and with a true and effective mind.
Let me know Your commandments, and love them,
carry them out readily, and bring them into effect.
Lord, let me go on with humility to better things
and never grow slack.
- St. Anselm, Prayers and Meditations
This prayer appeared in a Lenten Reader I received last year. I thought it was a beautiful prayer and worth passing along to you. Make this your prayer during this Lenten journey...
