June 16th - Richard of Chichester

Fans of the musical Godspell should recognize the prayer if not its author but they really miss out on the first part of this prayer - it certainly rounds it out and succinctly provides the fullness of prayer.

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits thou hast given me,
for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,
may I know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly, day by day.
Amen.
