June 5, 2009 - Pentecost |
 : : Watercolor & Ink by Kevin, age 10 : :
Almighty God, to whom all hearts be open, all desires known,
and from whom no secrets are hid;
Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly love thee,
and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
~Book of Common Prayer, 1662
I love these beautiful words of the opening Collect each Sunday.
Time-polished prayers always evoke a feeling of mystery and kinship with my long-passed
brothers and sisters in Christ. How many souls have been called to worship by their gentle
poetry over ages past? How many more times will I hear them?
Have a beautiful weekend.
