1. PLACE yourself in the presence of God, kneeling with hands clasped.
2. Read slowly and devoutly
3. Try to imagine the secret power of God dispensing blessing and grace every moment all over the earth.
4. Then say what is suggested by that thought; for instance:
(I) How mysterious is my sovereign Lord and God! He is doing things innumerable always everywhere; yet one does not interfere with another. He hears everything which is said everywhere, yet He never confuses one thing with another. He sustains everything day and night, yet He is not wearied. He is at once most occupied, yet ever in repose [never resting]. He is sovereign and supreme, yet He ministers, like a servant, to the whole creation.
(2) He is thus mysterious in His works-much more mysterious is He in His nature. God the Holy Ghost is the one God-but so is God the Father, so is God the Son. How is it that God is at once perfectly one, and perfectly three? I cannot tell - no wit of man can tell, no angel can tell it fully - for He is incomprehensible.
(3) 0 my Lord, God the Holy Ghost, I adore Thee, because You art so mysterious, so in. comprehensible. Unless You were incomprehensible, You would not be God. For how can the Infinite be other than incomprehensible to me?
5. Conclusion: Holy angels, who see God's face, teach me to have faith in Him.
*Ps. 104:29-35. NRSV. "When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground. May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works &emdash; who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD. Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD!"
