Читать книгу Peace Be Still. - David Jr. McDermott - Страница 11

Omnipotent, gracious Lord, you enfold me body and soul with all the blessings and fruit of your Holy Spirit through the imparting of your compassionate, infinite love. You revealed that love to us through our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ.

In the gift of the grace of the Holy Spirit in the present moment I can touch you through my soul in your eternity, through the union of our wills.

My faith is your first chink of light that the soul and body has accepted from the Holy Spirit.

May I not turn from your light in the weakness, emptiness and darkness of myself, but go to you as you desire, in the condition of a trusting child. May I continually discern that I cannot transform my selfish nature on my own, bringing the union of my body with my soul. In the condition of a child, in steadfast faith, it is the gift of the Holy Spirit that can transform me, flooding my soul with your light, love and life.

May I listen for your first voice of silence in my soul through silent prayer, resting only in your goodness.

If I, who am undeserving, receive this gift, may I give that light to all in my service to your glory. Amen.
