I pray

Language: English after the Latin

I pray, beg and ask you, increase my faith, 
increase my hope, increase my love.  
Make us, through your grace itself, 
always well-grounded in faith and effective in work, 
so that through a right faith and works worthy of that faith, 
we may come to eternal life, by your mercy.
