A Prayer of Refreshing

“O blessed Jesus Christ, who bids all who carry heavy burdens to come to Thee:

refresh us with Thy presence and Thy power;

quiet our understandings,

and give ease to our hearts by bringing us close to things  infinite and eternal;

open to us the mind of God,

that in His light we may see light;

and crown Thy choice of us to be servants

by making us springs of strength and joy

to all whom we serve.

Amen.”
