What Ambrose Still Knows

By Tyler Draper
An ancient prayer from Ambrose for forgiveness, forgiveness, pardon.

A strange mercy of the Christian tradition is that it refuses to flatter us. It gives us words when our own words have become too polished to be honest.

Let the prayer be smaller than your anxiety and older than your mood. That is often enough for today.
