In Love With The Lord

A Prayer for Silence of the Night

I know that the silence of the night is the worthiest messenger between our two hearts. I knew at our first meeting that I had known you for ages, and I knew at the time of parting that nothing would ever be strong enough to keep us apart. The hour in which our hearts met confirmed in me the belief in eternity and the immortality of our souls. Your eyes told me at that moment that your love was not born of pity, but of justice. I can proclaim to myself that the gifts, which derive from justice, are greater than those that spring from charity. Before us stretches a life which can fashion into greatness and beauty, a life that began with our first meeting and which will last to eternity. I know that it is within you to bring forth the power that God has bestowed upon me, to be embodied in great works and deeds.
