I need thee to teach me day by day, according to each day's
opportunities and needs. Give me, O my Lord, that purity of
conscience which alone can receive, which alone can improve
thy inspiration. My ears are dull, so that I cannot hear they
voice. My eyes are dim, so that I cannot see thy tokens. Thou
alone canst quicken my hearing, and purge my sight, and
cleanse and renew my heart. Teach me to sit at thy feet and to
hear thy Word, Amen.
- John Henry Newman
Open my eyes to see where you are already at work in the world; open my ears that I might incline to listen to your still small voice; and open my heart that I might receive your Word with great joy. Teach me to choose the One Thing.
