Your Instrument
Prayer of St Charles Borromeo (1538-1584)

Almighty God,
You have generously made known
to human beings,
the Mysteries of Your life
through Jesus Christ
Your Son in the Holy Spirit.
Enlighten my mind
to know these Mysteries
which Your Church
treasures and teaches.
Move my heart to love them
and my will to live in accord with them.
Give me the ability
to teach this Faith to others
without pride,
without ostentation
and without personal gain.
Let me realise
that I am simply Your instrument
for bringing others to the knowledge
of the wonderful things
You have done for all Your creatures.
Help me to be faithful to this task
that You have entrusted to me.
Amen
