Prayer of St. Anselm

O Lord our God, give us grace to desire you with a whole heart,
that so desiring you we may seek you and find you;
and so finding you, may love you;
and loving you, may hate those sins from which you have redeemed us,
for Jesus Christ’s sake.
Amen.
--St. Anselm, 1033-1109

I love this prayer. It fits me right where I'm at. Dr. Ross talked about renewing our passion for knowing Christ on Sunday and that is something that I am in desperate need of right now. Thanks for this post! Peace of Christ be with you and your family! I love and miss you guys!

I love this prayer too, thanks for posting it! I love you and miss you too!

You know there is a church down here that needs an English speaking pastor, you guys could just move to Cochabamba, Bolivia!?!?!?

I'm glad that it speaks to both of you too. Peace be with you both. Oh, and I don't think I'll be moving to Cochabamba any time soon. Sorry. Me no speaky espanol.
