~A Prayer (based on a prayer of Bonaventure)

Lord Jesus, as God's Spirit came

down and rested upon you, may

the same Spirit rest upon and be within us.

~

O Yahweh, Grant us the gift of

understanding, by which your

precepts may enlighten our minds.

~

O Jehovah, Grant us counsel, by

which we may follow in your

footsteps on the path of righteousness.

~

O Great God, grant us courage, by

which we may ward off the

Enemy's attacks.

~

O Sovereign God, grant us knowledge.

by which we can distinguish

good from evil.

~

O Merciful God, grant us piety, by

which we may acquire

compassionate hearts.

~

O Holy God, grant us fear, by which

we may draw back from evil

and submit to what is good.

~

O ineffable God grant us wisdom,

that we may taste fully the

life-giving sweetness of your love.

~

For we ask this O God our Father,

In the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us

Through the Son who died and rose again to ascend to Your right hand!

Amen.
