Summer Reading, August 2024 |
God, to you all hearts are open,
to you all longings speak,
and to you no secret thing is hidden.
I beg you --
purify the intentions of my heart
through the unspeakable gift of your grace,
so I can love you with all I am
and praise you for all you are.
Amen.
* Tonight is an exception. I usually use my own words, but the prayer from the preface of "The Cloud of Unknowing" has become one of my favorites.
