Our Morning Offering – 2 January – Christmas weekday and the Memorial of St Basil the Great (329-379) and St Gregory of Nazianzen (330-390)
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
By St Gregory of Nazianzen (330-390)
Father and Doctor
O God,
You alone are unutterable,
from the time You created all things
that can be spoken of.
You alone are unknowable,
from the time You created all things
that can be known.
All things cry out about You,
those which speak
and those which cannot speak.
All things honour You,
those which think
and those which cannot think.
For there is one longing, one groaning,
that all things have for You.
All things pray to You
that perceive Your plan
and offer You a silent hymn.
In you, the One,
all things abide
and all things endlessly run to You
who are the end of all.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen
