I love you, O God,
my Love, my Warmth,
my Solace,
my Fulfilment.
All that I am,
All that I do
Fill me with the full force
Of your Love
And its passionate splendor,
So that I might hold
And heal all those who are crying out for love.
Love through me
All the unreconciled
Whose homes and hearts
Are broken,
And let them know
I am able to love
Because you have first loved me.
