November 26

Let me find you, Lord

Lord, how long? How long, Lord, will you forget us? How long will you avert your face from us? When will you be mindful of us and hear us? When will you give light to our eyes, and show us your face, and give yourself to us once again? Look upon us, Lord, listen to us, enlighten us, show yourself to us. Give yourself to us again so that all may be well with us, for without you everything goes wrong for us. Look kindly upon our labors, our strivings to come to you, for apart from you, we can do nothing.

Teach me to seek you, and to the searcher show yourself; for I can neither seek you unless you teach me how, nor find you unless you make yourself known. Let me seek you by my desire and grow in desire by seeking you. Let me find you by loving and grow in love by finding you.

Anselm of Canterbury
