Pray Thyself in me

Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee ; Thou
only knowest what we need; Thou lovest me better than
I know how to love myself. O Father! give to Thy child
that which he himself knows not how to ask... Teach me
to pray; pray Thyself in me.
- François Fénelon (1651-1715),
Selections from Fénelon
