In Your loving presence

Eva-Maria Hogrefe

Conscious of Your
inexhaustible goodness—dear God,
I pray:

show me motives—kind and pure
so I mirror unconditional love
for Your child, and You

show me wisdom—just and true
so progress and healing
are present in all I do

show me compassion—gentle and strong
so I can help those
who have suffered long

show me how inseparable You and I are,
so I'm poised to see just You—You
who guards and guides, and loves us all.

O loving God, fount of the living Christ,
You, who for eternity are the only One,
I bow before You—
before the Love that always knows its own.

—Eva-Maria Hogrefe
