In Lux Lucis


Holy One of God, in darkness and in light
may I be found wholly dwelling in thee.
When sin I find knocking at my door,
stand guard, for there is much weakness in me.
Though my mind be foggy from past mistakes,
and my thoughts bent toward breaking your good law,
may it be your Spirit by which I decide
to submit to you and from this withdraw.
Since I find this battle raging all 'round
may I be found wholly dwelling in thee,
not by my power nor by my own might,
but only in you dwelling eternally.

In your light alone do I find my life,
free from these frustrations and all this strife.
