Lord, when I hear how
others praise and pray to you, giving themselves to you without reserve, I am
ashamed of my own misgivings and half-heartedness. Fill me with such love for
you that I may long to give myself to you too. Let the lesser loves of everyday
life take their proper place in my affections, leaving you first. Grant that
with your love I may be big enough to reach the world and small enough to be at
one with you.
