Allow us wisdom, O Most Holy Trinity
not to fight our inflictions outside
without first recognizing them inside.
Such warfare is always futile in the end.
Allow instead, the eyes of our understanding
to perceive the incurable sickness of the inner man,
and grant us the humility, O most gentle Hand,
to admit our absolute dependence on Your grace.
Move us to action then, O Lord
enlighten our minds, inspire our thoughts,
and deliver us from this ailment that beset the world.
The faithful of the world beseech You,
on behalf of the world and for the world.
Let Your will be done now and forever,
Amen
