I hope to love You for all eternity. O Eternal God!
Oh that I had always loved You!
Oh that I had died rather than have offended You!
I give You my will, my liberty;
dispose of me as You please.
May my only happiness be to please You, O Infinite Goodness.
O my God! I rejoice in that You art infinitely happy.
You are omnipotent; make me a Saint.
You have sought me while I was fleeing from You;
You loved me when I despised Your love;
do not abandon me, now that I seek You and love You.
Today I give myself wholly to You.
