Make of me a house of prayer,
With doors wide open
To the visitation of Your Saints,

By virtue of Your sacred anointing,

And feast upon You
In holy communion,
Listening for Your Presence
On the lips of Your Holy Ones,
To grow and go from glory to glory
As You o Lord intended as
You formed me in the womb
For Your good pleasure
And my eternal benefit.
