Prayer.
My God, Who dost possess in incomprehensible abundance all that is perfect and worthy of love! annihilate in me all guilty, sensual, and undue love for creatures, kindle in my heart the pure fire of Thy love, so that I may love nothing but Thee, or in Thee, until, being entirely consumed by holy love of Thee, I may go to love Thee eternally with the elect in heaven, the country of pure love. Amen.
