| St. Clement of Alexandria |
Be kind to Your little
children, Lord; that is what we ask of You as their Tutor, You the Father,
Israel’s guide; Son, yes, but Father as well. Grant that by doing what You told
us to do, we may achieve a faithful likeness to the Image and, as far as is
possible for us, may find in You a good God and a lenient Judge.
May we all live in the
peace that comes from You. May we journey towards Your city, sailing through
the waters of sin untouched by the waves, borne tranquilly along by the Holy
Spirit, Your Wisdom beyond all telling. Night and day until the last day of
all, may our praises give You thanks, our thanksgiving praise You: You who
alone are both Father and Son, Son and Father, the Son who is our Tutor and our
Teacher, together with the Holy Spirit.
St. Clement of Alexandria, (c. 150–215)
