God of truth, desire of all hearts,
we praise for your love
that touched the heart of St. Augustine and
awakened in him the quest for your truth.
Attracted by the good things you made,
he learned to seek your face,
and to know the joy of your presence
the name of Christ,
echoing from infancy in the depths of his heart,
called him back to your word,
the teacher who dwells within.
With Saint Augustine,
we praise the work of your love
and proclaim your action of grace in our lives.
Through his intercession,
we ask you to hear our prayers.
Teach us daily to live by his examples
so that our restless hearts
may find your peace
and our lives may rejoice in your love.
Amen.
