To writ..
- I devoutly adore you, o hidden God,
- Truly hidden beneath these appearances.
- My whole heart submits to You,
- And in contemplating You, it surrenders itself completely.
- Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in their judgment of you,
- But hearing suffices firmly to believe.
- I believe all that the Son of God has spoken;
- There is nothing truer than this word of Truth.
- On the cross only the divinity was hidden,
- But here the humanity is also hidden.
- Yet believing and confessing both,
- I ask for what the penitent thief asked.
- I do not see the Holy Wounds as Thomas did,
- But I confess that You are my God.
- Make me believe much more in You,
- Hope in you, and love You.
- O memorial of our Lord's death,
- Living Bread that gives life to man,
- Grant my soul to live on You,
- And always to savor your sweetness.
- Lord Jesus, Good Pelican,
- wash my filthiness and clean me with Your Blood,
- One drop of which can free
- the entire world of all its sins.
- Jesus, whom now I see hidden,
- I ask You to fulfill what I so desire:
- That the sight of Your Face being unveiled
- I may have the happiness of seeing Your glory. Amen.
