Receive, O God, our sacrifice of praise; that of thanksgiving for your mercies, that of prayer for your grace, that of penitence for our sins, and that love for your love, being the only gift that you seek or desire.
John Donne (1572-1631)

By the sorrow you suffered when all the powers of your heart failed you, O Jesus have mercy on us. In our days of darkness help us and in our hours of weakness strengthen us that we do not lose hold of you in this life, nor fail to enjoy you in the life of the world to come. Amen.
Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373)

Flood my heart with your presence, O God, my soul with your Spirit and my being with your light; that others looking upon my life may see only their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Grant us grace, O God,
to be interpreters of your beauty,
narrators of your glory,
confessors of your purpose,
preachers of your mind and
teachers of your works; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Odes of Solomon (1st century)
