“O Lord, open Thou my lips, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.”

— Girolamo Savonarola (1452–1498)

Source: Girolamo Savonarola, Infelix ego, in Select Works of Girolamo Savonarola, trans. and ed. John Procter (London: George Bell and Sons, 1900), 245.


Reflection: Where do I most need God to open my lips so that what I speak reflects truth, humility, and praise rather than self‑protection or fear?
