Let us not be caught in the fear of servile religion; keeping Tradition out of ignorance and offering our correctness as a sign of righteous enlightenment.
Let us not be caught in the tyranny of our rational minds, which creates innovations upon the faith, which leads us to hold prideful theologies that diminish God to the level of our understanding, or worse, which deny Him altogether.
Let us not be caught by the tyranny of our emotions, mistaken our soul's phantasy producing powers for the working of the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of LIFE.
Let us not be caught in the mere form of the visible church, but in the LIFE of it, who is Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God, present to all that truly seek Him.
Let our keeping of Tradition spring from the warmth of Your Love, from a heart that seeks continual repentance, from a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart you will not despise. Amen.
