Of the Wonderful Effect of Divine Love

Enlarge me in love, that I may learn to taste with the interior mouth of the heart how sweet it is to love, and to be dissolved and to bathe in love.  Let me be possessed by love, mounting up above myself through excess of fervor and ecstasy.  Let me sing the canticle of love, let me follow You, my Beloved, on high, let my soul quite lose herself in Your praises, jubilant in Your love.  Let me love You more than myself, and myself only for You, and all others in You, who truly love You, as the law of love commands, which shines forth from You.
