Opening Prayer
I love this dating game! We seem to be teasing each other in a romantic dance of light and darkness. As the Dawn seduces and dances with the darkness, before winning it over, so You dance and gently seduce me. I long for you, Radiant Dawn, my Beloved. And I believe that You long for me as Your beloved, with a divine passion beyond human understanding. Hiding in the crevices of my darkness, I look out to peek for you. My longing yearns to hear Your voice. Like Elizabeth, I know there is more than just a pregnant moment and person. Something, no everything inside me leaps in anticipation. You are Radiant Dawn – and You are coming – rushing into my arms. I wait breathlessly. Help me embrace You, Eternal Light and be Your beloved! Dancing with You will give birth to Your reign.
