“I do not wish, I do not desire to live long. I wish to live with You. It is You who are long life, vital and without end,
Come and do Your will in me.
Come when You wish and as You see fit.
Come like a breeze, like a blessing, if You think it right.
Come like a thunderbolt to test me and burn up my being, if You think that is how it should be.
I know that what will follow Your visitation, in whatever way You come, will be what I desire most deeply and cannot express, and what I cannot find anywhere outside You. That is why it is You that I seek and await.
I am disenchanted with myself. Only You remain. And I come to You, the healer, the light and the sanctification of souls and bodies. I come, sick as I am, and abandon to You my whole life and hope.”
