Govern by all Thy Wisdom, O Lord,
so that his soul may always be
serving Thee as Thou dost Will,
and not as he may choose
Do not punish him, beseech Thee,
by granting that which I wish
or ask if it offended Thy Love,
which would always live in him.
Let me die to myself,
so that I may love Thee.
Let me live to Thee,
Who art in Thyself,
the True Life.
My Brother, my best friend
Amen
