The Cloud of Unknowing

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.
