Teach Me To Pray

Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee;

Thou only knowest what I need;

Thou lovest me beter than I know how to love myself

O Father! Give to Thy child that which

he himself knows not how to ask

I dare not ask either for crosses or consolations;

I simply present myself before Thee,

I open my heart to Thee

Behold my needs which I know not myself;

see and do according to Thy tender mercy

Smite, or heal; depress me, or raise me up;

I adore all Thy purposes without knowing them;

I am silent; I ofer myself in sacrifce;

I yield myself to Thee; I would have no

other desire than to accomplish Thy will

Teach me to pray

Pray Thyself in me

AMEN

— François de Salignac Fenelon

Archbishop of Cambray, 1651–1715, AD
