Litany for Evening
 |
| (Found here) |
Teach me to pray on this side of the frontier, here where these woods are.
I need to be led by you.
I need my heart to be moved by you.
I need my soul to be made clean by your prayer.
I need my will to be made strong by you.
I need the world to be saved and changed by you.
I need you for all those who suffer, who are in prison, in danger, in sorrow.
I need you for all the crazy people.
I need your healing hand to work always in my life.
... I need you to name the dead.
I need you to help the dying cross their particular rivers.
I need you ... whether I live or die.
It is necessary.
Amen.
~Thomas Merton
