The demon said it would be a blizzard on that day and it did.
Wash away my sins - even those of my children.
Lay your hands upon me and I shall take the name of Paul, for You converted me along the road of destruction, off to death was where I was headed!
My ways and my pride have been cut down with sharp devices and brought low, as You thought it good, O Lord, so that I may serve You as You see fit.
Make me worthy, and I shall bend the knee and open my mouth.
Your flesh into my flesh.
Your blood into my blood.
Flashes of light, everything explained and said, without even a word uttered.
Take up my residence under my roof and dine with me, so that I be in You, and You be in me.
Lord, please help me.
Do not allow me to be tricked by the wicked.
Protect my ears from the gospel of death, the belief in the unbelief, and the pseudo-cult of the worm. 
Give me faith, truth, and hope. Bring me a shield of Your light that shall deflect the words of rot and decay. 

Schweitzer, Father Ignatius John. Godhead Here in Hiding Whom I Do Adore: Lay Dominicans Reflect on Eucharistic Adoration. The Lay Fraternity of St. Dominic, Inc, 2023. Pg. 103
