Prayer of St Benedict
St. Benedict said to St. Gertrude:
"Whoever shall delight in recalling to my mind the grace which was vouchsafed to me, of dying while I was standing and praying, I will assuredly be with him in the hour of his death, and will stand between him and his enemies, wherever their assault is most deadly and furious."
Prayer
Gracious and Holy Father
grant us the intellect to understand you;
reason to discern you;
diligence to seek you;
wisdom to find you;
a spirit to know you;
a heart to meditate upon you.
 
May our ears hear you;
may our eyes behold you;
and may our tongues proclaim you.
 
Give us grace that our way of life may be pleasing to you,
that we may have the patience to wait for you;
and the perseverance to look for you.

Grant us a perfect end – your holy presence
a blessed resurrection and life everlasting.
 
 We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
