Prayer: Gertrude

O God, may you ever find me as attentive to you as you show yourself to me. Then I shall attain to that perfection to which you raise a soul that is weighed down. May I breathe my last breath in the protection of your close embrace. May my soul find itself without delay there where you are, whom no place can circumscribe, indivisible, living, and exulting in the full flowering of eternity.

"May I breathe my last breath in the protection of your close embrace." Such a beautiful thought but I must say that I want to breathe every breath in the protection of God's close embrace. Blessings.
