...that our JOY may be full!

  "No one will have any other desire in heaven than what God wills;
and the desire of one will be the desire of all; and the desire of all
and of each one will also be the desire of God" - St. Anselm, Letter 112

"I adore and venerate You as much as ever I can,
though my love is so cold, my devotion so poor.
Thank You for the good gift of this
Your holy Body and Blood, which I desire to receive...
that which You promised through Your truth,
that my joy may be full
…"

"O God our God, grant us grace to desire you with a whole heart,
so that desiring you we may seek and find you;
and so finding you, may love you;
and loving you may hate those sins which separate us from you,
for the sake of Jesus Christ." ~ St Anselm
