This morning, I offer a prayer from Erasmus. It was a challenge to me as I read it. I pray that it may be a blessing also, not only for me but for all of you too. Let us pray:
Sever me from myself
that I may be grateful to you;
may I perish to myself
that I may be safe in you;
may I die to myself
that I may live in you;
may I wither to myself
that I may blossom in you;
may I be emptied of myself
that I may abound in you;
may I be nothing to myself
that I may be all to you. Amen.
