SOLITUDE
“Not solitude for its own sake, as a withdrawal, a refuge: but for the sake of understanding, wisdom, widening a certain commitment.”
— from Turning Toward the World
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. (Matt. 22:37-38)
Almighty God, you show to those who are in error the light of your truth that they may return to the way of righteousness: Grant to all those who are admitted into the fellowship of Christ’s religion, that they may reject those things that are contrary to their profession, and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same; through our Lord Jesus Christ.
