Father, to you I raise my whole being, a vessel emptied of self. Accept, Lord, this my emptiness, and so fill me with yourself – your light, love and life – that these your precious gifts may radiate through me, and overflow the chalice of my heart into the heart of all with whom I come into contact this day, revealing to them the beauty of your joy and wholeness, and the serenity of your peace, which nothing can destroy
Francis Nuttal, Prayers for Health and Healing, SPCK, 2000
