Morning Prayer -- St. Benedict -- Grant me a perfect end

A Prayer of St Benedict (480-547)

Gracious and holy Father,
please give me:
intellect to understand you;
reason to discern you;
diligence to seek you;
wisdom to find you;
a spirit to know you;
a heart to meditate upon you;
ears to hear you;
eyes to see you;
a tongue to proclaim you;
a way of life pleasing to you;
patience to wait for you;
and perseverance to look for you. 
Grant me:
a perfect end,
your holy presence.
A blessed resurrection,
And life everlasting.
