Lent Daily Devotional: Prayer

Prayer for Enlightenment by St. Francis

Almighty, eternal, just, and merciful God, grant us in our misery the grace to do for You alone what we know You want to do, and always to desire what pleases You.

Thus, inwardly cleansed, interiorly enlightened, and inflamed by the fire of the Holy Spirit, may we be able to follow in the footprints of Your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

And, by Your grace alone, May we make our way to You, Most High, Who live and rule in perfect Trinity and simple Unity, and are glorified God all-powerful forever and ever.

Amen.
