God of My Dai­ly Routine (11)
Home­com­ing to You 

Before You, all mul­ti­plic­i­ty becomes one; in You, all that has been scat­tered is reunit­ed; in Your Love all that has been mere­ly exter­nal is made again true and gen­uine. In Your Love all the dif­fu­sion of the day’s chores comes home again to the evening of Your uni­ty, which is eter­nal life. 

This love, which can allow my dai­ly rou­tine to remain rou­tine and still trans­form it into a home­com­ing to You, this love only You can give. So, what should I say to You now, as I come to lay my every­day rou­tine before You? There is only one thing I can beg for, and that is Your most ordi­nary and most exalt­ed gift, the grace of Your Love. 

Touch my heart with this grace, O Lord. When I reach out in joy or in sor­row for the things of this world, grant that through them I may know and love You, their Mak­er and final home. You who are Love itself, give me the grace of love, give me Your­self, so that all my days may final­ly emp­ty into the one day of Your eter­nal Life.
