A prayer of Bonaventure
Lord Jesus,
as God’s Spirit came down and rested upon you,
may the same Spirit rest upon and be within us.
O Yahweh,
Grant us the gift of understanding,
by which your precepts may enlighten our minds.
O Jehovah,
Grant us counsel, by which we may follow in your footsteps
on the path of righteousness.
O Great God,
grant us courage,
by which we may ward off the Enemy’s attacks.
O Sovereign God,
grant us knowledge,
by which we can distinguish good from evil.
O Merciful God,
grant us piety,
by which we may acquire compassionate hearts.
O Holy God,
grant us fear,
by which we may draw back from evil and submit to what is good.
O Ineffable God made known through Jesus,
grant us wisdom,
that we may taste fully the life-giving sweetness of your love.
For we ask this O God our Father,
In the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us
Through the Son who died and rose again!
Amen.
