Monastic & Mystic Prayers

Prayer of Thomas à Kempis

Grant me, O Lord, to know what is worth knowing, to love what is worth loving, to praise what delights you most, to value what is precious in your sight, and to hate what is offensive to you. Do not let me judge by what I see, nor pass sentence according to what I hear, but to judge rightly between things that differ, and above all to search out and to do what is well-pleasing to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Imitation of Christ, Book III
