A Prayer of Irenaeus


Give perfection to beginners, O Father; 
give intelligence to the little ones; 
give aid to those who are running their course. 
Give sorrow to the negligent; 
give fervor of spirit to the lukewarm. 
Give to the perfect a good consummation; 
for the sake of Christ Jesus our Lord.
