And so dearest God, source of my life, I tremble a little at what I am asking for when I pray for wisdom. But I want it all the same. I am asking you, God, for a breath of your power, a ray of your glory, a reflection of your eternal light, the likeness of your goodness, the purity of your movement and activity. To say it even fewer words, I am asking for you.
