Prayer: Mass on the World by Teilhard de Chardin

Glorious Christ,
You whose divine influence is active at the very heart of matter.
And at the dazzling centre where the innumerable fibres
of the multiple meet:
You whose power is as implacable
as the world and as warm as life,
You whose forehead is of the whiteness of snow.
Whose eyes are of fire,
And whose feet are brighter than molten gold;
You whose hands imprison the stars;
You are the first and the last,
the living and the dead and the risen again;
It is to you to whom our being
cries out a desire as vast as the universe:
In truth you are our Lord and our God. Amen.

(from The Mass on the World)
