Prayer to St. Augustine
Intercessional Prayers
O God, by whom the minds of the faithful are instructed; grant us, we pray, in the same Spirit to relish what is right and always to rejoice in his consolation.
St. Augustine, you who were transformed by divine grace from a life of sin to a life of virtue, help me to:
- Seek truth with humility and perseverance
- Find rest in God alone
- Love what God commands and desire what He promises
- Understand the depths of Sacred Scripture
Eternal Truth, true Love, beloved Eternity, you are my God, and for you I sigh day and night. As you once enlightened Augustine, so help me to:
- Turn away from worldly distractions
- Recognize the beauty of your presence
- Find peace in your unchanging truth
- Share your wisdom with others
O blessed Augustine, vessel of divine wisdom, pray that our hearts may be restless until they rest in God. Help us to grow in understanding of our faith and in love for divine truth.
Guide us in our search for wisdom, that like you, we may find it fully in God's eternal Word. Let our learning lead to loving, and our knowledge to holy living.
Amen.
