Prayer from History
God and King, blessed are all your saints who have traveled over the raging sea of mortality, and have reached the port of happy peace. Graciously look on us on our dangerous voyage. Remember, help and strengthen us in our distress, and help those who are going through rougher storms of trouble and temptation. Strengthen us for battle. Defend us from our own negligence and cowardice. Lord, after this virtuous and noble service, bring our ship safe to shore, to your harbor above. Amen.
- Augustine (354-430)
