Prayer: Karl Rahner, S.J.
O God, whenever I think of Your Infinity, I am racked with anxiety, wondering how You are disposed to me. You must adapt Your word to my smallness, so that it can enter into this tiny dwelling of my finiteness… without destroying it. If you should speak such an “abbreviated ” word…then I could breathe freely again. You must make your own some human word, for that is the only kind I can comprehend. Don’t tell me everything that You are; don’t tell me of Your infinity—just say that You love me, just tell me of Your Goodness.

The prayer of a humble soul. Fr. Rahner’s intellect in comparison to my own and he searches for the ‘right word’. Lord, give us the grace too …to simply say, “Lord, I am not worthy but I do love being loved by you.”
