St. Thomas Aquinas prayer

“Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart,
which no unworthy affection may drag
downwards; give us an unconquered
heart, which no tribulation can wear
out; give us an upright heart, which
no unworthy purpose may tempt
aside. Bestow upon us also, O Lord
our God, understanding to know
you, diligence to seek you, wisdom
to find you, and a faithfulness that
may finally embrace you; through
Jesus Christ our Lord.”
