奧古斯丁的禱告~
主阿,求你來看顧我們,在你一切光亮所帶來的光之前,讓我們生命中靈魂一切的黑暗都消失,用你神聖的愛充滿我們,並且打開你智慧的財寶讓我們看見。我們一切的渴慕就是認識你,因此求你來成全你所開始的這工,並且讓我們的靈裡面甦醒過來,在禱告中祈求,我們要尋求你的面,求你將容面轉向我們,讓我們看見你的榮光,這時候我們心中的渴慕將會得著滿足,心中的平安將會完美。
“Look upon us, O Lord,
and let all the darkness of our souls
vanish before the beams of Your brightness.
Fill us with holy love,
and open to us the treasures of Your wisdom.
All our desire is known unto you,
therefore perfect what you have begun,
and what your Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer.
We seek your face,
turn your face unto us and show us your glory.
Then shall our longing be satisfied,
and our peace shall be perfect.”
