Ave Maria Meditations
Almighty Father, come into our hearts, and so fill us with Thy love that forsaking all evil desires, we may embrace Thee, are only good. Show us, O Lord our God, what Thou are to us. Say to our souls, I am your salvation, speak so that we may hear.
Our hearts are before Thee; open our ears; let us hasten after Thy voice. Hide not Thy Face from us, we beseech Thee, O Lord. Open our hearts so Thou may enter in.
Repair the ruined mansions, that Thou May dwell therein. Hear us O heavenly Father, for the sake of Thy only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with Thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
St Augustine
