This beautiful prayer comes to us courtesy of Tau Rosamonde Miller of The Church of Gnosis (Ecclesia Gnostica Mysteriorum).  It is a poignant reminder of why we are here and why we long as we do.

Gnostic Sanctuary Holy Eucharist

 

I have been apart and I have lost my way.

The archons have taken my vision.

At times I am filled with Thee,

but often I am blind to Thy Presence,

when all I see is this world of form.

My ignorance and blindness are all I have to offer,

But these I give to Thee, holding back nothing.

 

And in my hours of darkness,

when I am not even sure there is a Thou, hearing my call,

I still call to Thee with all my heart.

Hear the cry of my voice, clamoring from this desert,

for my soul is parched

and my heart can barely stand this longing.
