Who art Thou, O Lord, and what am I? Dost Thou come unto me, O King most High, even to the very lowest of Thy servants? Behold, O Lord, I now have Thee, who hast all things: I possess Thee, who possessest all things and canst do all things; therefore, O my God and my All, do Thou wean my heart from all other things beside Thee, for in them there is nothing but vanity and weariness of spirit; on Thee alone may my heart be fixed; in Thee be my rest, for in Thee is my treasure, in Thee are sovereign truth, true happiness, and eternal life. Let my soul, O Lord, feel the sweetness of Thy presence. May it taste how sweet Thou art, O Lord, that, drawn by love of Thee, it may seek for nothing wherein to rejoice out of Thee; for Thou art the joy of my heart, and my God, and my portion for ever. Thou art the Physician of my soul, who with Thine own stripes hast healed our sickness. I am that sick soul whom Thou camest from heaven to heal; heal my soul, therefore, for I have sinned against Thee. Thou art the Good Shepherd who hast laid down Thy life for Thy sheep. Behold, I am that sheep which was lost, and yet Thou dost vouchsafe to feed me with Thy Body and Blood; lay me now upon Thy shoulders. What wilt Thou refuse me, who hast given Thyself unto me? O be Thou my Shepherd, and I shall lack nothing in the green pasture wherein Thou feedest me, until I am brought to the pastures of eternal life. O Thou true Light, which enlightenest every man who cometh into the world, enlighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death. O Fire continually burning, and never failing! behold how lukewarm and cold I am; O do Thou inflame my reins and my heart, that they may be on fire with the love of Thee. For Thou camest to send fire on the earth, and what wilt Thou but that it be kindled? O King of Heaven and earth, rich in pity! behold, I am poor and needy; Thou knowest what I most require; Thou alone art able to enrich and help me; help me, O God, and out of the treasure of Thy goodness succor Thou my needy soul. O my Lord and my God! behold, I am Thy servant: give me understanding and kindle my affections, that I may know and do Thy will. Thou art the Lamb of God, the Lamb without spot, who takest away the sins of the world; take away from me whatever hurteth me and displeaseth Thee; and give me what Thou knowest to be pleasing to Thee and good for me. Thou art my love and all my joy; Thou art my God and my all; Thou art the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; Thou art He that will restore my inheritance unto me. O my God and my All! may the sweet and burning power of Thy love, I beseech Thee, so absorb my soul, that I may die unto the world for the love of Thee, who for the love of me hast vouchsafed to die upon the Cross, O my God and my All. Lord, if I had lived innocently, I could not have deserved to receive the crumbs that fall from Thy Table. How great is Thy mercy, who hast feasted me with the Bread of Virgins, with the Wine of Angels, with Manna from heaven! O when shall I pass from this dark glass, from this veil of Sacraments, to the vision of Thy eternal light; from eating Thy Body, to beholding Thy face in Thy eternal kingdom? Let not my sins crucify the Lord of life again; let it never be said of me, The hand of him who betrayeth Me is with Me on the table. O that I might love Thee as well as ever any creature loved Thee! Let me think nothing but Thee, desire nothing but Thee, enjoy nothing but Thee. O Jesus, be a Jesus unto me. Thou art all things unto me. Let nothing ever please me but what savors of Thee and Thy miraculous sweetness. Blessed be the mercies of our Lord, who of God is made unto me wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption. Let him who glorieth glory in the Lord. Amen.
