028. 108. For those who cannot fix their Thoughts.

108. For those who cannot fix their Thoughts.

O GOD, Who needest not our words, but searchest into the hearts of Thy people, look down with Fatherly love upon Thy servants who, through weakness of body, are unable to fix their thoughts, although desiring to approach Thee with reverence. Invigorate their exhausted faculties. Tranquillize their perplexed mind.

Cheer them in their despondency. Enlighten them in their darkness. Kaise them out of themselves, to contemplate the joy of Thy Countenance, and establish them in their communion with Thee by the consciousness of Thine acceptance; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
