The Severe Mercy in “Sanctify Us, O Lord”
An ancient prayer from Liturgy of St. James for love, holiness, grace.
Some prayers do not decorate the soul. They undress it. That is part of their kindness.
Let the prayer be smaller than your anxiety and older than your mood. That is often enough for today.
Source boundary: this post reflects on Sanctify Us, O Lord, attributed in the corpus to Liturgy of St. James. No outside sources used.
