God, Father of kindness:
your mysterious and constant presence
has accompanied us throughout the centuries,
has given us your servant Augustine
as a guide and model.
Your beauty and your kindness make us desire you more and more.
The grace of your Son Jesus Christ
has produced many servants for the Church,
and your Spirit has worked marvels of holiness among us.
For all this,
we the sons and daughters of Augustine
give you thanks.
And we ask you to nourish in us
the hope of always feeling
under the shelter of your wings.
Protect us and give us courage.
Make us return to you when we sin
and remain faithful.
Be today our strength and our light
so that we may live in faith and holiness,
in love and unity.
Guide our restless steps toward your peace,
the peace of the City of God,
where we will one day repose and see your face,
we will see you and we will love you,
we will love you and we will praise you eternally.
Amen.
