“The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, ‘All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.’”—Matthew 28:16–20
PRAY
Prayer of Saint Augustine
Lord Jesus, let me know myself and know thee,
and desire nothing save only thee.
Let me hate myself and love thee.
Let me do everything for the sake of thee.
Let me humble myself and exalt thee.
Let me think nothing except thee.
Let me die to myself and live in thee.
Let me accept whatever happens as from thee.
Let me banish self and follow thee,
and ever desire to follow thee.
Let me fly from myself and take refuge in thee,
that I may deserve to be defended by thee.
Let me fear for myself, let me fear thee,
and let me be among those who are chosen by thee.
Let me distrust myself and put my trust in thee.
Let me be willing to obey for the sake of thee.
Let me cling to nothing save only to thee,
and let me be poor because of thee.
Look upon me, that I may love thee.
Call me that I may see thee,
and forever enjoy thee.
Amen.
