A Prayer

"Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of thee; thou only knowest what I need....I simply present myself before thee, I open my heart to thee.  Behold my needs which I know not myself.  Smite, or heal; depress me, or raise me up; I adore all thy purposes without knowing them; I am silent; I offer myself in sacrifice; I yield myself to thee; I would have no other desire than to accomplish Thy Will.  Teach me to pray.  Pray yourself in me.  Amen." 

- Francois Fenelon
