Gratitude

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ
for all the benefits which thou hast given to me,
for all the pains and insults which thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful Redeemer,
Friend and Brother,
may I know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly,
day by day. Amen.

St Richard of Chichester, Bishop (1197 – 1253)
