"Now, may our God be our hope. He Who made all things is better than all things. He Who made all beautiful things is more beautiful than all of them. He Who made all mighty things is more mighty than all of them. He Who made all great things is greater than all of them. Learn to love the Creator in His creature, and the maker in what He has made."
— Saint Augustine

A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Herb Yost, C.S.C.
Father, we are grateful that you have chosen to have an intimate relationship with each of us, one that is nurtured by the words of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. You seek us out and ask us to be your presence in the world. You also give us the key to your heart, the words to be spoken in our time of prayer. For this, we thank you and praise you. Amen.
