# Prelude to Meditation I will bury my entire soul in the depths of God and his eternal wisdom. I am entirely alone. Nobody disturbs me. No thought leads me astray. I am free from the agitation of the day’s routine and from all cares. Now I have time. I have nothing else to do but to pray. I feel the peace of God’s nearness. He fills me as my soul does my body. God is near me. I live in him; I move in him. I am in him. He gives me strength; he inspires my thoughts. In him I am strong. My God and Lord, grant that all my intentions and actions may be directed purely to your service and praise. Amen. <!-- prayer-nav --> --- ← [[a-prayer-of-farewell-after-the-liturgy|A Prayer of Farewell after the Liturgy before Leaving the Church]] | [[general-prayers|✝️ General Catholic Prayers]] | [[act-of-contrition|Act of Contrition]] →
