TO FATHER, SON AND SPIRIT

     ETERNAL FATHER in heaven, empty my heart of arrogance and pride. Pour the life of heaven into my thirsty soul. Strengthen my will to accomplish the mighty work you have set before me. Hide my heart in the mystery of your love. Son of God, obedient in all things, I ask for wisdom. Make of me a knowing servant, humble in spirit, mighty in works. Open my heart to hear your Word. Refresh me in the sacraments of your grace. Holy Spirit, fountain of divine knowledge, I ask for the gifts of holiness, the habit of steadfast discipleship, and the courage to kneel before God's throne: Not my will, but thine, be done.
