Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downward;
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.
Amen.
Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274)
