Lord, shed upon our darkened souls the brilliant light of your wisdom so that we may be enlightened and serve you with renewed purity. Sunrise marks the hour for men to begin their toil, but in our souls, Lord, prepare a dwelling for the day that will never end. Through our unremitting zeal for you, Lord, set upon us the sign of your day that is not measured by the sun. -- Ephrem the Syrian



The memorial of Saint Ephrem of Syria was on 9 June but he is a figure who is never met at the wrong time. Breakpoint published The Lyre of the Holy Spirit by T.M. Moore last week.
