I beg you, most loving Savior,
to reveal yourself to us who beseech you,
so that knowing you, we may love you only,
love you alone,
desire you alone,
contemplate you alone by day and night,
and ever hold you in our thoughts.
May your charity possess all our inward parts,
and your love own us all,
and may your affection fill our senses.

(St Columban)
