Getting Dressed
very morning
you put on your clothes to cover your nakedness and to protect your body
from the inclement weather. Why don't you also clothe your soul with the
garment of faith?
Remember every morning the truths of your creed, and look at yourself in the mirror of your faith. Otherwise, your soul will soon be naked with the nakedness of oblivion.
-- Sermon 58, 13
Prayer. Lord, only this do I ask of your great kindness: that you convert me totally to you and allow no obstacle to hinder me as I wend my way to you.
-- Soliloquies 1, 6
