O Eternal God, now may it please you to burn in love so that we become the limbs fashioned in the love you felt when you begot your Son at the first dawn before all creation. And consider this need which falls upon us, take it from us for the sake of your Son, and lead us to the joy of your salvation.

Hildegard of BingenGlance at the sun. See the moon and stars. Gaze at the beauty of the green earth. Now think.
