A prayer of St Augustine

"God of life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and wear us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage.  Flood the path with light we beseech thee; turn our eyes to where the skies are full of promise..."  Amen

A prayer of Thomas Merton*

  "My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.  I do not see the road ahead of me.  I cannot know for certain where it will end.  Nor do I really know my self, and the the fact that I think I am following you does not mean that I am actually doing so.  But I believe the desire to please you does in fact please you.  And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing.  I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.  And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it.  Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.  I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone."  Amen

*Thoughts in Solitude, New York: Farrar, Straus & Cudahy, 1958, p. 83
