Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart

Good Friday morning, my friends.

This beautiful prayer from Thomas Aquinas speaks to my heart - and I hope it speaks to yours.  Have a wonderful, god-filled weekend.

Amazing Grace and Peace that surpasses all understanding be yours,

Bruce

Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart, 

Which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; 

Give us an unconquered heart, 

Which no tribulation can wear out; 

Give us an upright heart, 

Which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. 

Bestow upon us also, O Lord our God, 

Understanding to know you, 

Diligence to seek you, 

Wisdom to find you, 

And a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; 

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

--Thomas Aquinas
