Prayer written by St. Thomas More:
"Almighty Jesus Christ, who would for our example observe the law that you came to change, and being maker of the whole earth, would have yet no dwelling-house therein, give us your grace so to keep your holy law and so reckon to ourselves for no dwellers but for pilgrims upon earth that we may long and make haste, walking with faith in the way of virtuous works, to come to the glorious country wherein you have bought us inheritance forever with your own precious blood."
