from Morning Prayer, Thursday first week of Lent
Father,
without you we can do nothing.
By your Spirit help us to know what is right
and to be eager in doing your will.We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with ou and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
from On the Passion of Christ: According to the Four Evangelists
Thomas á KempisAlso grant me the grace courageously to overcome my defiant flesh for the benefit of my soul, to cast out all carnal fear, to pray more frequently and attentitvely, to enjoy your assistance, to leave every outcome in your hands, to renounce my will thoroughly, and to be ready to suffer whatever comes.
