Lord, how long is the road to knowledge.
Will it take us all eternity to know you and to know ourselves?
Today we see only a pale reflection, but in the mirror of your Love
it is your warm, welcoming light that gradually reveals us to ourselves.
At the beginning of the world you said: “Let there be light” and there was light.
And that was good. So that your light may be in our lives, keep us in your Name
so that we may enjoy the benefits of your presence,
from now until eternity.
