because you made us for yourself;
our hearts are restless until they rest in you.
May my restless heart find rest in you.
You inspire us, O Lord, to delight in praising you
because you made us for yourself;
our hearts are restless until they rest in you.
because you made us for yourself;
our hearts are restless until they rest in you.
May we revere those who are weak in faith
Help us to show reverence for those who are weak in faith,
may we never be hard or impatient with them,
but always treat them with love.
may we never be hard or impatient with them,
but always treat them with love.
Lord, come to our aid.
from the breviary
The golden rule in Tobit
Do to no one what you yourself dislike.
Give to the hungry some of your bread,
and to the naked some of your clothing.
Seek counsel from every wise man.
At all times bless the Lord God,
and ask him to make all your paths straight
and to grant success to all your endeavors and plans.

Tobit 4:15a, 16a, 18a, 19
Suscipe, Domine
Suscipe, Domine, universam meam libertatem.
Accipe memoriam, intellectum, atque voluntatem omnem.
Quidquid habeo vel possideo mihi largitus es;
id tibi totum restituo, ac tuae prorsus voluntati trado gubernandum.
Amorem tui solum cum gratia tua mihi dones,
et dives sum satis, nec aliud quidquam ultra posco.
