Prayer

Lord,

I bring

the poverty of my soul to be transformed by your beauty;

the wildness of my passions to be tamed by your love;

the stubbornness of my will to be conformed to your commandments

and the yearnings of my heart to be renewed by your grace;

both now and for ever.

Amen

Catherine of Genoa, 1447-1510
