Lord, inspire me to read your Scriptures and to meditate upon them day and night...
I know that understanding and good intentions are worthless, unless rooted in your graceful love. I ask that the words of Scripture may also be not just signs on a page,
but channels of grace into my heart.
Origen of Alexandria
