Tuesday, August 8 : Book of hours of Sinai
I have sinned, I have failed you, O compassionate one. I have sunk in the abyss of despair; but show me in the midst of my night, as you did for the disciples journeying on the sea, O Word, and give me your divine serenity! My soul in each moment is in your hands O my God and my help. You who sound the depths of my heart, you who know my thoughts, you know the waves, the storm, the furor of my thoughts; but I have seen you, even now, on the agitated sea of my heart. Behold, I have desired your precepts, in your righteousness make me live. Forgive, O Creator, be indulgent you who formed me, have mercy because I am on the sea of this life, extend your divine hand, like Peter, and lift me up. Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit!
