Happy Feast of St. Benedict

Holy Father Benedict, in your goodness grant me the intellect to comprehend you, the perception to discern you and the reason to appreciate you.  In your graciousness bestow on me a heart to contemplate you, ears to hear you, eyes to see you, and a tongue to speak of you.  In your mercy confer on me a conversation pleasing to you, the patience to wait for you, and the perseverance to long for you.  Amen.
