Prayer to Start the Week

Jesus taught his disciples "that they should always pray and not give up" (Luke 18:1).

Another prayer from Augustine:

"Who, O Lord, will allow me to rest in you? Who will allow you to enter my heart and make me drunk with your love? Who will make me forget my wicked ways, and embrace you, the only source of goodness?

Have mercy on me, that I may speak to you. What am I to you, that you should command me to love you? Say to my soul, 'I am your salvation.' Open my ears to your voice. Open my eyes to your face. Open my heart to receive your grace."
