O my God, Trinity whom I
adore, let me entirely forget myself that I may abide in you, still and
peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity; let nothing disturb my
peace nor separate me from you, O my unchanging God, but that each
moment may take me further into the depths of your mystery ! Pacify
my soul! Make it your heaven, your beloved home and place of your
repose; let me never leave you there alone, but may I be ever attentive,
ever alert in my faith, ever adoring and all given up to your creative
action.
O
my beloved Christ, crucified for love, would that I might be for you a
spouse of your heart! I would anoint you with glory, I would love you -
even unto death! Yet I sense my frailty and ask you to adorn me with
yourself; identify my soul with all the movements of your soul, submerge
me, overwhelm. me, substitute yourself in me that my life may become but
a reflection of your life. Come into me as Adorer, Redeemer and Saviour.
O
Eternal Word, Word of my God, would that I might spend my life listening
to you, would that I might be fully receptive to learn all from you; in
all darkness, all loneliness, all weakness, may I ever keep my eyes
fixed on you and abide under your great light; O my Beloved Star,
fascinate me so that I may never be able to leave your radiance.
O
Consuming Fire, Spirit of Love, descend into my soul and make all in me
as an incarnation of the Word, that I may be to him a super-added
humanity wherein he renews his mystery; and you
O
Father, bestow yourself and bend down to your little creature, seeing in
her only your beloved Son in whom you are well pleased.
O
my `Three', my All, my Beatitude, infinite Solitude, Immensity in whom I
lose myself, I give myself to you as a prey to be consumed; enclose
yourself in me that I may be absorbed in you so as to contemplate in
your light the abyss of your Splendour !
