The eyes of my soul are blind

By St. Bartholomew of Braga - Enlighten my eyes to see things as they are: the vain as vain and the true as true

Beautiful prayer from Saint Bartholomew of Braga…

Cure of the blind, Cathedral of Chartres, France

Lord, the eyes of my soul are blind, 
because I do not see which is good and which is evil. 

The false goods of this world seem to me true and great, 
and the true goods of the other world I do not cherish or desire as I should, 

therefore enlighten my eyes to see things as they are: 
the vain as vain and the true as true, so that, 
despising the vain and loving the true, 
I may come to Eternal Light. 
Amen
