I need you 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 your inspiration.
My ears are dull, so that I cannot hear your voice.
My eyes are dim, so that I cannot see your gifts.
You alone can quicken my hearing, and purge my sight, and cleanse and renew my heart.
Teach me to sit at your feet and to hear your Word.
Amen.
John Henry Newman (1801–1890)
