Surely, in this phase of your life still "bound" to the corruptible body, you have already found intimacy with your Divine Spouse, who has gifted you with a brief spark of His ineffable Love; the Uncreated and most perfect Love that He feels for you. Well, now you no longer breathe for yourself, but you sigh for Him.
Here I am, Divine Spouse of my soul. How I long to love You more, and at every moment, to lovingly witness You in all things. But I understand that You are guiding me by Your holy and venerable hands to finally meet You in the long-awaited union.
Forgive me, my Lord, for still not loving You as I would wish. But, trusting that Your love is absolutely patient and compassionate, I find complete delight, even in fleeting and lapsing moments, feeling You intimately touch my Being. Teach me, O Lord, to love You for the souls that do not yet love You, for in doing so, I will ensure there remains not a single crevice that leaves You alone.
