   If you humble yourself,   
   He leans towards you.”

   Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see, and ask for the   
   old paths, which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall

   Almighty God, Open Thou My Heart   
   A Prayer for Guidance   
   By St Bede the Venerable (673-735)   
   Father and Doctor of the Church   
      
   ALMIGHTY God,   
   open Thou my heart   
   and enlighten me with the grace of the Holy Spirit,   
   to see those things which are well-pleasing to Thy will.   
   Direct my thoughts and understanding   
   to those things which it is proper to meditate upon   
   and to take in hand;   
   in such fashion, as by fitting character   
   and deeds, I might be found worthy   
   of the eternal joy of heavenly life.   
   Direct my acts to Thy commandments,   
   that I might, by labour   
   so unbrokenly, study to bring them to fulfilment,   
   as to attain to an everlasting reward.   
   Amen
