St John of the Cross - Spiritual Master

"God is awakened in the soul. God breathes in the soul.

Wisdom is more active than all active things.

Oh, how happy is this soul that is ever conscious of God resting and reposing within its breast!"

Living Flame of Love, Stanza IV, vv 2; 6 and 15.

O Jesus, who in Thy bitter Passion didst become "the most abject of men, a man of sorrows", I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men. O Jesus, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine image and to set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven. Amen.
