A prayer to the life of our souls

Another prayer I found online from the Gelasian Sacramentary:

O God who art the light of the minds that know thee, The life of the souls that love thee, and the strength of the hearts that serve thee; Help us to know thee that we may truly love thee; so to love thee that we may fully serve thee, whom to serve is perfect freedom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

    Please let us know where the online Gelasian Sacramentary (hopefully English translation) can be found.

    Many, many thanks!

  2. Athanasius, I haven’t found an English version, unfortunately. The Latin is here.

    I’m just posting a few prayers I found translated into English in various sources.

    Thank you!!

    Found and downloaded a Latin one. Now need to learn Latin, beyond the smattering I know, so I can translate.

    Grace & peace be yours!
