Prayer Reflection on 1st Antiphonal Advent Prayer (author unknown to me)

O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the

Most High, reaching from one end to the other mightily, and sweetly ordering all things:

Come and teach us the way of prudence.

I cannot think unless I have been thought, 
Nor can I speak unless I have been spoken. 
I cannot teach except as I am taught, 
Or break the bread except as I am broken. 
O Mind behind the mind through which I seek, 
O Light within the light by which I see,

O Word beneath the words with which I speak,

O founding, unfound Wisdom, finding me,

O sounding Song whose depth is sounding me,

O Memory of time, reminding me,

My Ground of Being, always grounding me,

My Maker’s Bounding Line, defining me, 
Come, hidden Wisdom, come with all you bring, 
Come to me now, disguised as everything.
