Give us, O Lord, steadfast hearts,
which no unworthy affection
may drag downwards.
Give us unconquered hearts,
which no tribulations can wear out.
Give us upright hearts,
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.
- St. Thomas Aquinas
