Dear Lord,
Teach us to know the obstacles which, consciously or unconsciously, we are placing in the way of your grace in us. Grant us the strength to set them aside and, if we are negligent therein, vouchsafe to remove them yourself regardless of how much we may suffer thereby. Dear Lord, may we never seperate ourselves from you, may our inner conversation never cease, and may we not stand in the way of the grace which, through us, should be poured out upon other souls to give them light and life.
Amen
