Saint Paul's on-the-Hill Episcopal Church
 

 

Radiant and Unfading Wisdom,

your deep love calls to me.

I seek you with all my heart.

Hasten to make yourself known to me.

 

Sit at the gate of my heart.

Teach me your ways.

Meet me in my every thought.

Attune my mind to your perceptions.

Open all that is closed within me.

I desire your instruction.

I long to receive and to share your love.

 

Dance on the path of my life.

Free me from all that hinders.

Deepen all that attracts me to you.

As the mystery of my life unfolds

through the quickly passing years,

draw my love ever nearer to you.

 

I promise to be awake and vigilant,

attentive to your voice,

receptive to your guidance.

I will hide no secrets from you.

Come, reveal yourself to me.  (Joyce Rupp, Prayers to Sophia, Ave Maria Press, Notre Dame: 2004, p. 30.)

 

Amen.
