"Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know You, a heart to seek You, wisdom to find You, conduct pleasing to You, faithful perseverance in waiting for You, and a hope of finally embracing You.
Most loving Lord, grant me a steadfast heart which no unworthy desire may drag downwards; an unconquered heart which no hardship may wear out; an upright heart which no worthless purpose may ensnare.
Impart to me also, O God, the understanding to know You, the diligence to seek You, a way of life to please You, and a faithfulness that may embrace You, through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Amen."
~Aquinas' Prayer

May this be true of our hearts and attitudes as we honor HIM, the True reason for the season.
