PRAYER FOR THE
GRANTING OF PRAYER
St. John of Kronstadt, Á-°My Life in Christ"
O All-merciful Lord! Grant me the
divine gift of holy prayer, flowing from
the depth of my heart. Gather together
the dispersed thoughts of my mind, that
it may always strive towards its Creator
and Savior. Destroy the burning arrows
of the evil one, which tear me away
from Thee. Quench the flame of the
passionate thoughts that devour me
during prayer. Cover me with the grace
of Thy Most-holy Spirit, that to the
very end of my sinful life I may love
Thee alone with all my heart, all my
soul and mind, and all my strength, and
in the hour when my soul takes leave of
my mortal body, O Sweetest Jesus, take
into Thy hands my spirit when Thou
comest into Thy Kingdom. Amen.
