O God, Thou art Life, Wisdom, Truth, Bounty, and Blessedness, the Eternal, the only true Good. My God and my Lord, Thou art my HOPE and my heart's joy.
Lord, make me to know Thee aright, that I may more and more love, enjoy, and possess Thee. And since, in the life here below, I cannot fully attain this blessedness, let it at least grow in me day by day, until it all be fulfilled at last in the life to come.
Here be the KNOWLEDGE of Thee increased, and there let it be perfected. Here let my love to Thee grow, and there let it ripen; that my joy being here great in HOPE, may there in fruition be made perfect.

If only
If only I hadn't
If only I could still
If only he was here
If only I had more
Collecting these "if onlys" has become compulsive, and I can't seem to stop: there are so many of them. They weigh me down, and I'm too tired to carry them any longer.
Can I give all these "if onlys" to You, Lord? Whenever I manage to give You my worthless things, You always give me something far better in exchange. . .
So in the place of all these "if onlys" I will receive from You in the
New Life ~ You said You would give me.
The way I feel right now, I find it hard to BELIEVE a New Life is
possible, but I receive it from You by FAITH ~ and ~ I THANK YOU.
