Prayer of St. Thomas More (1478-1535)

Lord Chancellor of England and Martyr

Give me, good Lord, a full faith, a firm hope,

and a fervent charity, a love to you, good Lord,

incomparably above the love to myself,

and that I love nothing to your displeasure,

but everything in an order to you …

Take from me, good Lord, this lukewarm fashion,

or rather my cold manner of meditation,

and this dullness in praying unto you.

And give me warmth, delight and quickness

in thinking upon you; and give me your grace

to long for your holy sacraments,

and specially to rejoice in the presence

of your very blessed body (sweet Savior Christ,

in the holy sacrament of the altar),

and duly to thank you for your gracious

visitation therewith, and at that high memorial,

with tender compassion, to remember and

consider your most bitter passion.43
