A Prayer of Saint Basil

saint_basil

O Lord, our God, teach us, we pray, to ask rightly for the right blessings.

Steer the vessel of our soul toward your heart, the tranquil Haven of all storm-tossed souls.

Show us the way we should go. Renew a willing spirit within us.

Let your Spirit curb our wayward senses, and guide us to that which is our true good, to keep your laws, and in all our works to rejoice in your glorious and gladdening presence.

For yours is the glory and praise from all saints forever and ever.


Amen.


Saint Basil (c. 330–379)
