This prayer is a heartfelt plea for divine wisdom and spiritual enlightenment. It asks God to fill our hearts with His pure light, open our minds to understand the Gospel, and instill in us reverence for His commandments. By overcoming earthly desires, we seek to live a spiritual life that is pleasing to God. The prayer acknowledges Christ as the true source of light and guidance for both soul and body, offering glory to Him, the Father, and the Holy Spirit for all eternity.

O gracious Master, infuse in our hearts the spotless light of Your Divine Wisdom and open the eyes of our mind that we may understand the teachings of Your Gospel. Instill in us also the fear of Your blessed commandments, so that having curbed all carnal desires, we may lead a spiritual life, both thinking and doing everything to please You. For You, O Christ, our God, are the enlightenment of our souls and bodies; and to You we render glory, together with Your eternal Father, and with Your all holy, life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and forever.

Amen.
