Look on us, O Lord, and let all the darkness of our souls disappear before the beams of your brightness. Fill us with your holy love, and open to us the treasures of your wisdom. You know all our desire, so bring to perfection that which you have started, and what your Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer. We seek your face, turn your face to us and show us your glory. The our longing will be satisfied and our peace will be perfect.

Come Lord, work on us, set us on fire and clasp us close, be fragrant to us, draw us to your love, let us run to you.

O Lord, to be turned from you is to fall, to be turned to you is to rise, and to stand in you is to abide for ever. Grant us in all our duties your help, in all our perplexities your guidance, in all our dangers your protection, and in all our sorrows your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
~ Saint Augustine
