Who is he? I asked. I really do not know much about him but he has a famous quote prior to his conversion:
O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet. ~ St. Augustine
I have committed this prayer by heart.
It is a daily mantra that I say on the way to work or when I go for a walk. The mantra is very meditative and in the end, it is no longer I that is present but the Spirit of God, in this body.

Help me to be pure, but not yet…
I have a habit of buying cards when I visit places instead of taking pictures. I keep them for a long time, enjoying it and then I mail them out to friends or families.
There is a particular card that I kept and I placed it on altar. When I opened it, I wrote:
December 6, 1991
Course in Miracle
Westminster Abbey
Mission, BC
That is a lifetime ago. It was the time when I still have a car, when the gas price was only 50 cents to a litre, when I owned a four door sedan, V8. The car was a guzzler. But it took me to places where it is unreachable unless one has a private vehicle. I was thankful for this car.
Westminster Abbey is a beautiful serene place situated on top of hill.
I must have taken a retreat at the Abbey but I cannot remember what the course was all about. As for the miracle, the card is still with me. The writing is beautiful and I have memorized it by heart. It was written by St. Augustine.

This is amazing. Today, my lesson with my teens is about Ezekiel and the valley of dry bones. I had sought out a prayer to print off for them to keep in a place they would see it every day and this was the prayer! Wow. God moves.
The Spirit of God moves, all the time. I’m glad that this is it, Kanzen.
I love the idea of buying cards to remember the place ! though taking picture seems easy but post card idea is great ! Great post 🙂 xx
Post cards, yes, I have tons of those for keepsake. 😛
Very nice post.
Thank you, Brett.
Perpetua,
Wonderful prayer! Thank you for sharing! I’m going to print it out and learn it by heart, too.

You are welcome, Claudia. Prayers are meant to be shared.
You always make me smile! 🙂
I feel much better now if I can make someone smile.
‘…but not yet’? ¯\_(⊙︿⊙)_/¯
What’s with the shrug and arms?
I’m confused – why ‘…but not yet’?
because of blogging 😆
Does blogging make one impure?
Well, if I were to follow the “Rule”, blogging is out of the question.
OK. ᵒᴥᵒ#
Ooo.. you are such a cutie. A mouse?
A kitty! (｡◕‿◕｡)
