This past Sunday we celebrated the "Sunday After the Ascension" in the 1962 liturgical books. Here is the lovely prayer which is repeated throughout the week during the Divine Office:
Almighty and everlasting God, make us always bear towards Thee a devoted will, and serve Thy Majesty with a sincere heart. Through our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end, Amen.
Sometimes the short prayers are the ones chock full of food for meditation, so I hope you will find inspiration from it.
Hi Barbara, I do sometimes favor the shorter ones too. I like it when it's too the point and concise. It homes better that way. Hope you're feeling ok? Praying that you experience renewed strength and good health!
ReplyDeleteNoreen and Colleen, thanks for your best wishes. Glad the prayer speaks to you.
ReplyDeleteHi Barb,
ReplyDeleteSometimes shorter prayers are better because I'm scatterbrained. This one's beautiful - I immediately honed in on "devoted will" and "sincere heart". If you have these two things you have everything.
Praying for your health, Barb! God bless!
Mary, I,too,fixed on the "devoted will" and "sincere heart". Those two phrases are enough to meditate on all day.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better - always nice to see you posting!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless.
