The Sign of the Cross
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.  Grant that we may come to know the risen life and that nothing may distract us from the delights You offer.  Through our unremitting zeal for You, Lord, set upon us the sign of Your day that is not measured by the sun. —St Ephrem
