Prayer of St. Augustine to Seek God Continually
O Lord my God,
I believe in you,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...
Insofar as I can,
Insofar as you have given me the power,
I have sought you.
I became weary and I laboured.
O Lord my God,
My sole hope,
help me to believe
And never to cease seeking you.
Grant that I may always and ardently
Seek out your countenance.
Give me the strength to seek you,
For you help me to find you
And you have more and more given me the hope of finding you.
Here I am before you
With my firmness and my infirmity.
Preserve the first and heal the second..
Here I am before you
With my strength and my ignorance.
Where you have opened the door to me,
Welcome me at the entrance;
Where you have closed the door to me,
Open to my cry;
Enable me to remember you,
To understand you,
And to love you.
Amen.

Glad to be here. I am someone who was raised Catholic, until my first penance. But never really made a serious connect. I was essentially kicked out of CCD at age 12 after my parents got divorced and fell away from there. At age 19, I had a radical conversion experience and began attending Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches. My family still attends a small non-denominational Church although in the past year or two, I have fallen in love with all things Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. If I could, I would attend one of these two. However, because my wife is so severly allergic to incense, I figured that Catholicism is really my only option. :) I now make regular connfesion and take recieve the eucharist as much as I can.
I have been involved in outreach and interfaith dialogue with Muslims for several years. After these years of doing this, my feelings regarding ISlam are not positive. I am also a somewhat best-selling author along these lines, ahough I cannot state the title as I use a pen name. I have recently also co-authored a manuscript with a Benedictine sister (in-between convents) about St. Faustina - her life and message with an emphasis on the Image of Divine Mercy. Pray that we can get it through all of the proper channels to be published.
Blessings all.
Rick
