This prayer comes from St. Thomas Aquinas and comes from the Catholic Prayer Book compiled by Msgr. Michael Buckley. The prayer goes thus:
Give to S., O Lord, a steadfast heart which no unworthy thought can drag downwards;
an unconquered heart which no tribulation can wear out;
an upright heart which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside.
Bestow upon S. also, O Lord our God, understanding to
know thee, diligence to seek thee, wisdom to find thee,
and a faithfulness that may finally embrace thee;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
This blog was created as an additional service for those who are sending prayer requests. Since some of those who send prayer requests may want a wider coverage in the internet for their prayer petitions this blog is set-up for this very purpose. To those who may learn of this blog, you have the option to include your email address or not. The advantage of having your email address published in the blog is that you can obtain responses from the general public for your prayer requests. If you rather would wish to keep your email address kept in private for security reasons, then this is also alright. Your prayer request will be read and prayed for just the same. May this blog service serve as many people as it can: people who hurt, people who suffer, people who are challenged with illness, people who wish to help others, people who wish to pray for others, people who wish to join in this ministry, and people who generally care about the state of our human condition - a human condition whom Jesus Himself shared with us.
