Lord of my origin,
draw me closer to you;
Lord of my calling,
give me strength to go on;
Lord of my faith,
preserve me from doubt;
Lord of my hope,
keep me from despair;
Lord of my love,
let me never grow cold;
Lord of my past,
may I never forget you;
Lord of my present,
be near me always;
Lord of my future,
keep me faithful to the end;
Lord of my life,
let me live in your presence;
Lord of my death,
receive me at last;
Lord of my eternity,
bless me forever.
Amen.
Fr Eric Doyle OFM, 1938 – 1984, English Franciscan
