Blessed is the one who is worthy to find
enjoyment in the Garden of Life; the Holy Scriptures.

or their radiance reach me or their dew bathe me.^52Set readings
The Lord of all
is the treasure and store of all things.
On each according to their capacity
he bestows a glimpse
of the beauty of his hidden life
of the splendor of his majesty.
He is the radiance who, in his love,
makes everyone shine:
the small with flashes of light from him,
the perfect with rays more intense,
but only his Child is sufficient
for the fullness of his glory.^53Prayer

I pray for myself and for those dear to me......
Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of laziness,
despondency, lust for power, and idle talk, but give your servant a
spirit of self-control, humility, patience and love. Lord and King,
help me to see my own faults and not to condemn others: for you are
blessed age after age. Amen.^54
