------------------------prayer of the day ----------------------

My God, give me the courage to live three hundred and sixty-five days and nights, all empty of Your presence. Give me the courage to consider this emptiness as fullness. Make me your humble lover, entwined with you in ecstasy. It makes it possible for me to speak to this tremendous emptiness and receive the answer. maternal love that nourishes and cradles. Make me have the courage to love You, without hating Your offenses to my soul and my body. May loneliness not destroy me. May my solitude serve me as company. Make me have the courage to face myself. Let me know how to be with nothing and still feel like I'm full of everything. Receive in your arms my sin of thinking about giving up on life
