"How blessed it is to speak to

God,

To talk of God,

To be satisfied with God alone;

To recall, desire, understand,

know, love God;

To seek and find God in God;

Giving oneself wholly to God,

Leaving God for the delights of

God;

To think, to speak, to work for

God;

To hope in God alone;

To have one’s mind fixed on God

always;

Doing all things with God in

God,

Dedicated and consecrated to

God,

Pleasing God alone,

Suffering for God,

Rejoicing in God alone;

To desire God alone,

To abide with God forever,

To exult in God in times of joy

To see, touch, taste God,

To live, die, and abide in God;

With God and in God, ravished

by God and elevated to God;

To offer God to God

For God’s eternal honour and

glory

O God, what joy and bliss you

are!

God, O God!

God, O God!

God, O God!"
