The dawn light, let it renew my thought life.

The noon sun, let it clear my actions.

The gathering dusk, let it soothe my heart.

Let me live close to you today, Lord.

(Letter #2,998)

Imbued with power, what is my obligation toward the day? Entering a forest, do I conquer it, explore it, heal it?

Let me grateful for strength and weakness, and use both as you would have me.

(Letter #2,997)

With what weapon will you demolish my selfish center, Lord?

By melting my icy heart in the face of a neighbor’s woe?

By challenging a loved one?

By upending a cherished routine through calamity?

Great deeds are afoot, I feel them. Let me make my interior self ready for the storm.

(Letter #2,996)

This day, a container filled with moments. Each moment a container, filled with your grace.

My life, a container. Let me make ready, Lord, to allow you in, to change me.

(Letter #2,995)
