Reading the “Daily Prayer of Father Parfeny of Kiev” on Martin Turner’s Weblog, I realized I don’t think of prayer as between self and God. I found myself editing “Grant me that purity of spirit…which makes us worthy of Thy Love” to Grant me that purity of spirit…which makes us worthy of Love.” Without the Thees and Thous, the prayer seemed to evolve into a generalized prayer of being, focused on Good.
