Prayers Ancient and Modern 01/14

Grant me, O most loving Lord, to rest in Thee above all creatures, above all health and beauty, above all glory and honor, above all power and dignity, above all knowledge and subtilty, above all riches and art, above all lame and praise, above all sweetness and comfort, above all hope and promise, above all gifts and favors that Thou canst give and impart to us, above all jubilee that the mind of man can receive and feel; finally, above angels and archangels, and above all the heavenly host, above all things visible and invisible, and above all that Thou art not, O my God. It is too small and unsatisfying, whatsoever Thou bestowest on me apart from Thee, or rc-vealest to me, or promisest, whilst Thou art not seen, and not fully obtained. For surelv my heart cannot truly rest, nor be entirely contented, unless it rest in Thee —Amen.

Thomas A. Kempis (1379-1471)
