Prayer: Thomas More

Give me your grace, good Lord, to walk the narrow way that leads to life, to bear the cross with Christ; to have ever before my eye my death that is ever at hand; to pray for pardon before the Judge comes, to have continually in mind the passion that Christ suffered for me; for his benefits unceasingly to give him thanks, and buy the time again that I before have lost.

  1. The beginning of this prayer immediately brought to my mind the Suscipe which is one of my favourite prayers:
    "Give me only your love and your grace,
    that is enough for me."

    1. It is a terrific reminder of our humility and that most things are in God's hands.
