Today’s prayer was written by Richard of Chichester (1197-1253), the Bishop of Chichester in England. The prayer was adapted for the song “Day by Day” in the musical Godspell (1971).
Thanks be to you, my Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits which you have given me,
for all the pains and insults which you have borne for me.
O most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother,
may I know you more clearly,
love you more dearly,
and follow you more nearly,
day by day.
