Lord, Almighty God,
Life is not for our destruction-but for our living.

You remain ever one and the same in Yourself,
but there goes forth from you continually
a power and virtue, which by its contact
is our strength and good....

The living God is life giving.
You are the font and the center,
as well as the seat of all good.
And so, make me like Yourself, O, My God,
since, in spite of myself,
such you can make me, such I can be made....

Lord, I am asking for Yourself,
for nothing short of You, O My God,
who has given Yourself wholly to us.

Enter into my heart substantially and personally
And fill it with fervor by filling it with You.

You alone can fill the soul of men,
and you have promised to do so.
You are the living Flame,
And You are ever burning with love of man.

Enter into me and set me on fire
after Your pattern and likeness. (1)

The unborn child is a living icon of the Omnipotent God, sacred and precious, but likewise humbly hidden from the world's eyes, veiled in the womb
