Prayer to Start the Week

Steve Duer suggested that the prayer posted last Monday should be set to music. I had to agree, and thought the same thing about this one. Today I'm praying with Augustine:

You, Lord,
are the light of minds that know you,
the joy of hearts that love you,
and the strength of wills that serve you.

Grant to us that, in knowing you, we may truly love you,
that, in loving you, we may fully serve you.

For to serve you is perfect freedom.

Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
