Lord Jesus Christ, pierce my soul with thy love so that I may always long for thee alone, who art the bread of angels and the fulfilment of the soul’s deepest desires. May my heart always hunger and feed upon thee, so that my soul may be filled with the sweetness of thy presence. May my soul thirst for thee, who art the source of life, wisdom, knowledge, light and all the riches of God our Father. May I always seek and find thee, think upon thee, speak to thee and do all things for the honour and glory of thy holy name. Be always my only hope, my peace, my refuge and my help in whom my heart is rooted so that I may never be seperated from thee.
-Bonaventure, 1217-74
