Faith A Gateway To Knowing



grant me today O Lord my God

God of wonders & miracles

the grace of holy faith

& the ability to respond to faith

that by faith I may please Thee

the grace of wisdom & understanding

that I may understand faith in wisdom

that my hope may be fulfilled in Thee &

my heart may be filled for love of Thee

as my soul searches Thy light to follow

O Light of life O Light of men aid me

to see the joy of rejoicing in Thee

Thou who art all goodness & all Love

catholic in every respect accepting all

who come to Thee with open heart & mind

that by faith we may please Thee

God of wonders & miracles

grant us today O Lord our God

the grace of holy faith

About this poem

faith in wisdom helps our understanding Unless we believe by faith that tomorrow exists, even arising from sleep is impossible.
