St Benedict Prayer

“O Lord,
I place myself in Your hands.
I ask You to lift my soul and fill it with Your grace.
Shine Your light before me, so I may walk in Your truth.
Open my heart, so I may love and serve You.
Guide me in doing good works for Your greater glory.
Give me the strength to follow Your will,
so that Your peace and mercy fill my life.
Amen.”
