elephantine steps in a butterfly's body
no wonder my heart flutters so much.
~
Give me, O Lord,
A steadfast heart,
Which no unworthy affection
May drag downwards;
Give me
An unconquered heart,
Which no tribulation
Can wear out;
Give me
An upright heart,
Which no unworthy purpose
May tempt aside.
Bestow on me also, O Lord my God,
Understanding to know You,
Diligence to seek You
Wisdom to find You,
And a faithfulness
That may finally embrace You,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
-St. Thomas Aquinus

ah... wow.
thanks for that. *smiles*
Ditto! : )
Not to take away from the very amazing writing.
I have to say that on a couple things I think Thomas Aquinis was a little messed up. Just to make the point of how no one is perfect but God still uses them for a perfect purpose.
