Prayer for Illumination
Lord Christ,
count us not among those to whom you would come but would not receive you,
those to whom you would speak but would not hear you.
Come now with the power of your Holy Spirit,
and call to our remembrance all that you have taught us.
This we ask in your precious name.
Amen.
