Thine I am and will be, in life and in death." "O Jesu, beloved, fairer than the sons of men, draw me after Thee with the cords of Thy love." "Blessed are Thou, O most merciful God, who didst vouchsafe to espouse me to the heavenly Bridegroom in the waters of baptism, and hast imparted Thy body and blood as a new gift of espousal and the meet consummation of Thy love." "O most sweet Lord Jesu, transfix the affections of my inmost soul with that most joyous and most healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, most holy, apostolical charity; that my soul may ever languish and melt with entire love and longing for Thee.

Let it desire Thee and faint for Thy courts; long to be dissolved and be with Thee." "Oh, that I could embrace Thee with that most burning love of angels." "Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth; for Thy love is better than wine.

Draw me, we will run after Thee.

The king hath brought me into his chambers....

Let my soul, O Lord, feel the sweetness of Thy presence.
