Our Morning Offering – 24 November – The Solemnity of Christ the King
Above All That is Not You
Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
O most loving Jesus,
give me this special grace to rest in You
above all created things,
above all health and beauty,
above all glory and honour,
above all dignity and power,
above all knowledge and prudence,
above all riches and talents,
above all joy and gladness,
above all fame and praise,
above all sweetness and consolation,
above all hope and promise,
above all merit and desire,
above all gifts and rewards
that You may give or send –
except Yourself –
above all joy or happiness
that the human mind and heart
can grasp or feel,
above all Angels and Archangels,
above all the heavenly hosts,
above all things visible and invisible
and above all that is not You,
my God.
Amen
AnaStpaul 
Above all can we even imagine what that means but I’m willing to wait and be Blessed by the Creator

Let us try now – let us remember the words of Patrick all day every day every moment – Christ be near at either hand, Christ behind before me stand.
