1. Dear Father Philip, turn your gaze to us who dwell on earth. Plead to Our Lord, who shared our state, that we may prove our worth.

2. God preordained that we should live in this time, here and now. Grant that our hearts be open to the word he sends to sow.

3. Let them not be stony and cold, and full of empty pride, but burning with the fire of love where faith and hope abide.

4. May we not seek the praise of men, desiring to be shown as great and glorious in this life, but love to be unknown.

5. Grant that we seek no home on earth or vain hopes in this place, but ready be at every hour to meet God face to face.

6. To God’s great mercy we entrust our lost and sinful past, and to his blessed providence our future shall we cast.

7. O Holy Father, grant that, of no glory shall we boast, save God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.
