Prayer: Augustine of Hippo
God, our true life, to know you is life, to serve you is freedom, to enjoy you is a kingdom, to praise you is the joy and happiness of the soul. I praise and bless and adore and thank and glorify you. I beg you to live with me, to reign in me, to make this heart of mine a holy temple, a fit habitation for your divine majesty.
This prayer follows so beautifully the theme of the previous prayer of Pope Francis. Thank you.
