"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…"
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
