FOR HOLINESS OF HEART


Lord I want to be more holy in my heart. 

Here is the citadel of all my desiring,

where my hopes are born and all the deep resolutions of my spirit take wings. 

In this center, my fears are nourished, and all my hates are nutured. 

Here my loves are cherished,

and all the deep hungers of my spirit are honored with quivering and without shock. 

In my heart, above all else,

let love and integrity envelop me until my love

is perfected and the last vestige of my desiring is no longer in conflict with thy Spirit. 

Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart.  Amen.
