St. Benedict of Nursia (c. 480-540)


St. Benedict of Nursia
(Maria Laach Abbey, 1939)


A PRAYER OF ST. BENEDICT

O Gracious and Holy Father, give us

Wisdom to perceive you,

Diligence to seek you,

Patience to wait for you,

A heart to meditate upon you,

And a life to proclaim you;

Through the power of the Spirit of 

Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
