A PRAYER OF THOMAS A KEMPIS

Grant me, O Lord to know what is worth knowing

to love what is worth loving,

to praise what delights you most,

to value what is precious in your sight,

to hate what is offensive to you.

Do not let me judge by what I see,

nor pass sentence according to what I hear,

but to judge rightly between things that differ

and above all to search out and to do what pleases you

through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen
