O God, because without you we are not able to please you mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Grant to us, Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
It is because He is hidden, that He most be sought in order to be found; and being found He must still be sought in order to be found; and being found He must still be sought because of his immensity…For He satisfies the seeker in the measrue of his capacity and He makes the finder to have greater capacity so that he may again seek to be filled when his ability to receive had grown.
—St. Augustine
