Here is today's prayer:

My God, I desire to love thee perfectly, with all my heart, which thou madest for thyself; with all my mind, which only thou canst satisfy; with all my soul, which feign would soar with thee. With all my strength, my feeble strength, which shrinks before so great a task and yet can choose naught else but spend itself in loving thee. Claim thou my heart, fill thou my mind, uplift my soul and reinforce my strength, that when I fail thou mayest succeed in me and make me love thee perfectly.
