For an Exact Faith

Give me grace, O Lord, 
to be in all things strong, prudent and just 
with a wise restraint at need. 

Grant me an exact faith, 
unshakeable trust in thee, 
and perfect charity. 

Fill me with the spirit of intelligence and wisdom. 

Let me be always thoughtful for others and courageous, 
with loyalty and reverence. 

O Light, perfect and eternal, enlighten me.
