Opening Prayer
Praise to you,
Saint John of the Cross,
whose loving embrace of the mystery
teaches me to find sweet refuse
in the unknow
and the unknowable.
You quietly labored
to drain the cup of self
so
that the Beloved could fill you.
Gentle monk,
with flames leaping in your heart,
light my way
through the dark night of my soul.
Let doubt become my ally,
and longing my friend.
Burn whatever stands between
me
and union with the Beloved.
Thank you.
Amen
- Mirabai Starr Saint John of the Cross
