A Prayer of St Augustine

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I may love only what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, that I may defend all that is holy. Guard me, O Holy
Spirit, that I myself may always be holy. Amen.


This prayer's focus seems perfect for the season of Lent, the one liturgical season of the church’s calendar year that focuses on humanity: for six weeks leading up to Jesus’ final days and his glorious Easter resurrection, we are called to reflect on and confess our individual and corporate sin; we are called to sacrificial giving and service to relieve human suffering; we are called to reconcile with the estranged; we are called to grow closer to our Creator God through worship, reading Scripture and prayer. In Lent, the focus is on us, as we journey alongside Jesus in the wilderness, counting the cost of our sins as individuals and as a society.


Augustine (354-430) knew full well the scope of human sin: born to an affluent Berber family in North Africa, Augustine was raised by his devout Christian mother Monica but was sent to Rome to continue his education. He lived a hedonistic lifestyle, rejecting Christianity in favor of philosophy. Then Augustine met Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, who inspired Augustine to return to Christianity and serve the Church. Augustine become a priest and was eventually appointed Bishop of Hippo in North Africa; his theological works inspired Martin Luther, among many others.


My prayer for you this Lenten season is that you might use St Augustine’s prayer to frame your daily devotions, as a reminder that God has acted for us in Christ Jesus to forgive all our sins. In gratitude for God’s mercy, we hold the baptismal responsibility of aligning our words, thoughts and actions with God’s expectations for human life, as outlined in the Ten Commandments. May all that we think, say and do be holy, to glorify God in Christ Jesus.  ~Peace to all here, Pastor Monica
