I've been praying for you and thinking about your situation since then. Some of the things you say remind me of some of my own behavior in the past--the longing for the past, trying to drown out the pain by wallowing in sinful and destructive behavior.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to comment then, if only to let you know that you were being prayed for, but I felt as though I didn't know what to say. Then, in my prayers, I came across this prayer that seemed perfect. Even more so, since it came from one of the Church's greatest converts--St Augustine.<BR/><BR/>Before I write the prayer, I do just want to say that while your travels to these churches might not have been motivated by a holy purpose, it is not a coincidence. Recognize how blessed you are that God has called you in this way, through these means. Something drew you to this endeavor, and you found something much more valuable--the pearl of great price. Recognize how valuable it is, and how blessed you are. Nothing is a coincidence with God. Still praying for you.<BR/><BR/>Prayer of St. Augustine<BR/>O Jesus Christ, you are my father, my merciful God, my great king, my good shepherd, my only master, my best helper, my beloved friend of overwhelming beauty, my living bread, my eternal priest. You are my guide to my heavenly home, my one true light, my holy joy, my true way, my shining wisdom, my unfeigned simplicity, the peace and harmony of my soul, my perfect safeguard, my bounteous inheritance, my everlasting salvation.<BR/><BR/>My loving lord, Jesus Christ, why have I ever loved or desired anything else in my life but you, my God? Where was I when I was not in communion with you? From now on, I direct all my desires to be inspired by you and centered on you. I direct them to press forward for they have tarried long enough, to hasten toward their goal, to seek the one they yearn for.<BR/><BR/>O Jesus, let him who does not love you be accursed, and filled with bitterness. O gentle Jesus, let every worthy feeling of mine show you love, take delight in you and admire you. O God of my heart and my inheritance, Christ Jesus, may my heart mellow before the influence of your spirit and may you live in me. May the flame of your love burn in my soul. May it burn incessantly on the altar of my heart. May it glow in my innermost being. May it spread it's heat into the hidden recesses of my soul and on the day of my consummation, may I appear before you consumed in your love. Amen.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09228922248154542351noreply@blogger.com
