O Almighty God, You have come so many times to me and found no resting place. Forgive me for my overcrowded life, my vain haste and preoccupation with self. Come again, O Lord, and though my heart is a jumble of voices and my mind overlaid with many fears, find a place however humble where You can begin to work Your wonder as you create peace and joy within me. If in some hidden corner, in some out-of-the-way spot, I can clear away the clutter and shut out the noise and darkness, come be born again in me and I will kneel in perfect peace with the wisest and humblest of men. I ask Your help and offer praise to You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
