To end this series on Augustine, the authors wrote a prayer for students. I hope you enjoyed this series.

An Augustinian Prayer for a Student

God of Truth and Beauty,
You give each one of us the desire to seek the Truth.
Fire me with a thirst for knowledge and Truth.
Let me use that knowledge to build a community of justice and love.

God of Splendour and Glory,
You show us your splendour in the heavens, the earth and the mystery of each person.
May I see your presence and warming love in the gifts of this earth.
May I reverence this presence.

God, companion on the journey,
You touched the restless heart of Augustine as he searched for you.
Help me to support my friends and students in their quests
and seek their help in mine.
Remind me that you are within me and them as teacher and friend.
Be present to us in the struggles of life as we journey together.

God of Unity, God of Peace,
You inspired Augustine to gather friends around him in community.
May we always live together in harmony and be of one mind and one heart.

Amen.
