Come, dear Refreshment of those who languish; Come, Star and Guide of those who sail amidst tempests. You are the Haven of the tossed and shipwrecked. Come now, Glory and Crown of the living, as well as the Safeguard of the dying.
Come, Sacred Spirit; Come, and make me fit to receive You.
St. Augustine

1 Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
2 The Lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race;
he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.
3 But no, all have turned away;
all have become corrupt.
No one does good, not a single one!
4 Will those who do evil never learn?
They eat up my people like bread
and wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord.
5 Terror will grip them,
for God is with those who obey him.
6 The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed,
but the Lord will protect his people.
Psalm 14 New Living Translation
