All my longings lie open before you, Lord:
my sighing is not hidden from you.
my sighing is not hidden from you.
A prayer
My God,
I pray that I may so know you and love you
that I may rejoice in you.
And if I may not do so fully in this life,
let me go steadily on
to the day when I come to fullness of life.
Meanwhile let my mind meditate on your eternal goodness,
let my tongue speak of it,
let my heart live it,
let my soul hunger for it,
and my whole being desire it,
until I enter into your joy.
by St Anselm (1033-1109)
