O my God, let me walk in the way
of love which knoweth not how to
seek self in anything whatsoever.

But what love must it be?

It must be an ardent love,
a pure love,
a courageous love,
a love of charity,
a humble love,
and a constant love.

O Lord, give this love into my
soul, that I may never more
live nor breathe but out of a
more pure love of Thee, my All
and only God. Amen.
