Hidden behind a cloud.

Dear God,

Burn me away until I'm nothing but what can't behold you. Who are you? What am I? What is this?

Dear Father,

Bless your name.

Dear Son,

Bless your name.

Dear Spirit,

Bless your name.

Bless you Three in One, One in Three. Ineffable and incomprehensible.

Silence my enemies. Give me justice. Grant me peace.

Bless your servant and give him faith.

Forgive your servant and give him grace.

Love your servant and give him hope.

Dear unspeakable mystery,

Thank you for glimpses of Your glory.

Burn me away until I am yours. Flay me until I am yours.

Your servant is weak and you are strong.

Amen.
