God, the desire of every human heart,
you moved Saint Augustine to seek restlessly for Truth and Peace.
Touch our hearts with his burning desire for Wisdom, for the Word made flesh.
God of Truth and Justice, you taught Augustine to love unity and common life.
Give us a share in his thirst for unity and make us one in mind and heart.
God our Shepherd, you made Augustine a faithful pastor of your flock.
Guide us, like him, to serve all people as we make our way to your Kingdom.
God in whom we find our rest,
renew in us the desire to follow Jesus and his servant Augustine.
Keep us faithful to our promises until at last, we find our rest in you.
Amen.
Our Holy Father Saint Augustine, pray for us!
