The days of our life are soon gone,
O God, and we fly away; but for
you every day is a new creation.
On one mountain you spoke to Moses
about his lineage; on another mountain
centuries later you told Peter, James, and
John to listen to your Beloved. Before our
days have flown, may we listen to him, too.
