Dag Hammarskjold, quoted in W.H. Auden, A Certain World: A Commonplace Book. New York: Viking, 1970, p. 174.
God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illuminated by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.

Loving God, illuminate our lives with the wonder of your radiant presence. Help us to move towards you, opening ourselves, challenging ourselves, enlarging ourselves so that we may be your loving will in the world.
Illuminator of all that You have created, shine on into every dark corner of my own life, so that I may see and know You, and follow You with joy out of the dark into Your everlasting light. Thank You for loving me each day. May I shine in Your light to others as well, wherever You lead me. Thank you.
