Saturday's Prayer




An Invitation to Christ

Come, my Light, and illumine my darkness.
Come, my Life, and revive me from death.
Come, my Physician, and heal my wounds.
Come, Flame of divine love,
and burn up the thorns of my sins,
kindling my heart with the flame of thy love.
Come, my King, sit upon the throne of my heart
and reign there.
For thou alone art my King and my Lord. Amen
Dimitry of Rostov, Russia, 17th cent.

Prayers for QP, from the Preacher Party....

And my friend finally, FINALLY has a diagnosis--the same one he and I have been kicking around since July at least--fibromyalgia. They plan on treating it with a combination of medication and physiotherapy. Prayers for him, his family, and his partner as they come to terms with what this means for them all. Granted it's not life-threatening, it still means some life-changes lie ahead.
