Prayer for the Church (St. Catherine of Siena)

Eternal God, eternal Trinity, you have made the blood of Christ so precious through his sharing in your divine nature. You are a mystery as deep as the sea; the more I search, the more I find, and the more I find the more I search for you. But I can never be satisfied; what I receive will ever leave me desiring more. When you fill my soul I have an even greater hunger, and I grow more famished for your light. I desire above all to see you, the true light, as you really are. Have mercy on your Church. Do not delay any longer, but look upon your servants and give them a new heart. Reform your bride, that she may be beautiful again in the eyes of the world. Amen.
