NIGHT PRAYER: SATURDAY 8/17


 The quote in the graphic is from tomorrow's first reading...

If I have any wisdom at all, it's this:
 
    What I truly need to forsake, Lord:

        - is the totally foolish thinking
            that there's nothing foolish I need to let go...
 
         - and the foolhardy hope of believing
            I can live a decent and happy life
                while keeping my foolish ways... 
 
         - and the foolishly stupid delusion
            that I might grow in knowing the truth
                apart from the gift of your wisdom...
 
So, help me forsake my foolishness, Lord,
    and nourish my soul with your wisdom's bread;
give me to drink from your cup of healing
    and lead me to follow your way, your path...

Show me, O Lord, what I need to forsake
    and open my heart to receive all you offer;
help me let go what burdens my spirit
    and fill my soul with desire for you...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
    and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
    and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.
