This is taken from the book 100 Days In The Secret Place
Oh, Divine Majesty, in whose presence the pillars of heaven do quake and tremble, You are more than infinite, and yet in Your love the seraphim burn. Give me leave. oh Lord, to lament our blindness and ingratitude. We all live deceived, seeking this foolish world and forsaking You who are our God. We all forsake You, the fountain of living water, for the foul mire of the world.
Oh children of men, how long shall we follow after vanity? What deception is it that causes us to forsake our Lord who is our greatest good? Who is it that speaks the highest truth to us and loves us most and defends us most?
Where is there a more perfect friend or tender bridegroom or loving father?
Oh, Divine Lord, how few are those who are willing to suffer that they may follow Christ crucified, who embrace the cross. Oh, what scarcity there is of those who are totally stripped, dead to themselves and alive to God and totally resigned to Your good pleasure.
-Michael Molinos
