You must realize that the human heart is not small when it can
contain all this. You ought to judge it not by its physical size but
by its power to embrace such a vast amount of knowledge of the truth.
But so that I may convince you that the human heart is large by a
simple example from daily life, let us consider this. Whatever city
we may have passed through, we have in our minds. We remember its
streets, walls, and buildings, what they were like and where they
were situated. We have a mental picture of the roads we have
traveled. In the moments of quiet reflection our minds embrace the
sea that we have crossed. So, as I said, the heart that can contain
all this is not small!
Therefore, if what contains so much is not small, let a way be
prepared in it for the Lord, a straight highway along which the Word
and Wisdom of God may advance. Prepare a way for the Lord by living a
good life and guard that way by good works. Let the Word of God move
in you unhindered and give you a knowledge of His coming and of His mysteries.
To Him be glory and power for ever and ever, amen.
Origen

Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue
with Your help,
so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be happily ended.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
