Oração do convertido

by OAR

O God, creator of the universe, grant me first rightly to invoke You; then to show myself worthy to be heard by You; lastly, deign to set me free.

Hear me, hear me, graciously hear me, my God, my Lord, my King, my Father, my Cause, my Hope, my Wealth, my Honor, my House, my Country, my Health, my Light, my Life.

Hear, hear, hear me graciously, in that way, all Your own, which though known to few is to those few known so well.

Henceforth You alone do I love, You alone I follow, You alone I seek, You alone am I prepared to serve, for You alone are Lord by a just title, to Your dominion do I desire to belong.

Direct, I pray, and command whatever You will, but heal and open my ears, that I may hear Your voice.

Heal and open my eyes, that I may behold Your significations of command. Drive delusion from me, that I may recognize You.

Tell me where I must direct my gaze to behold You, and I hope that I shall do all things You may enjoin. Amen, Amen.
(Soliloquy 1, 1, 2.4-5)
