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.
