Act Of Petition

Grant me Yourself, O Lord my God, allow me to receive You. I see that I love You, and if my love lacks strength, enable me to love You more deeply. I am unable to quantify my love to comprehend how it may fall short, yet let my soul race towards Your embrace and never retreat until it is safe in the hidden refuge of Your presence. This I know for certain: it does not bring me joy when You are absent from within me, when You remain outside my heart. I desire You to dwell within my very being. All the abundance found in the world, which does not include You, is pure want.Amen.
