prayers

Repost of Episode 64

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using this prayer by St. Augustine:

Late have I loved you,
O Beauty so ancient and so new,
late have I loved you!
You were within me, but I was outside,
and it was there that I searched for you.
In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created.
You were with me, but I was not with you.
Created things kept me from you;
yet if they had not been in you they would not have been at all.
You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness.
You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness.
You breathed your fragrance on me;
I drew in breath, and now I pant for you.
I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more.
You touched me, and I burned for your peace.

Repost of Episode 63

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using this prayer by St. Umilta of Faenza:

Kind Christ–you’re my only hope–come to me. Don’t be slow to visit my heart, which desperately needs your love. Fill it with divine grace. Join my mind and soul. Make them burn in you who are flame without smoke always, wholly resplendent.

Come to me and bring your love, gorgeous fire that makes all things bear fruit. You draw the seeds out of the dry ground and make them grow. Hear me, excellent sower. My heart only wants the seed of love from you. This seed grows instantly and produces the best fruit.

I beg only love from you. Come then, Jesus, sweet lover. Don’t dawdle!

Repost of Episode 57

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using this prayer by St. Teresa of Avila:

Govern everything by your wisdom, O Lord,
so that my soul may always be serving you
in the way you will
and not as I choose.
Let me die to myself so that I may serve you;
let me live to you who are life itself.
Amen.
