  "You have made us to desire only you, you, our beginning and our end, 
you, our food and our rest, you, our joy and our peace. Turn us from our desires that obsess us. Unburden us that we may know our true desire and end in communion with you, you, who desires us as companion and lover.." -- Walter Brueggemann, Prayers for a Privileged People-All Desires Are Known
