Posted on by AnaStpaul

One of Blessed Dominic’s major Conversions,
St John Henry Newman, will do the honours today.

Raise My Heart
St John Henry Newman (1801-1890)

O my God,
whatever is nearer to me than You,
things of this earth
and things more naturally pleasing to me,
will be sure to interrupt
the sight of You,
unless Your grace interfere.
Keep You my eyes,
my ears,
my heart,
from any such miserable tyranny.
Keep my whole being fixed on You.
Let me never lose sight of You
and while I gaze on You,
let my love of You
grow more
and more everyday.
Amen
