This prayer to our heavenly Father, attributed to Fulbert of Chartres (970-1028), is as appropriate today as it was when it was written a thousand years ago:
“How brief is our span of life compared with the time since you created the universe. How tiny we are compared with the enormity of your universe. How trivial are our concerns compared with the complexity of your universe . . . You give your whole and undivided attention to each and every one of us. Our concerns are your concerns.”
