Reflection for March 21

A Prayer of Ludwig von Beethoven
We must praise thy goodness, that thou hast left nothing undone to draw us to thyself. But one thing we ask of thee, our God, not to cease thy work in our improvement. Let us tend towards thee, no matter by what means, and be fruitful in good works, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. [From A Barclay Prayer Book by William Barclay]
