The function of faith is not to reduce mystery to rational clarity, but to integrate the unknown and the known together in a living whole, in which we are more and more able to transcend the limitations of our external self.
God, unto whom all hearts are open, unto whom all will is spoken, unto whom nothing is hidden, I beseech Thee to cleanse the intent of my heart with the unspeakable gift of Thy grace that I may perfectly love Thee and worthily praise Thee.
