Prayer of Saint Bonaventure~Meditation III

"May my soul ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find thee, run to Thee

attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee,

and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy Name,

with humility and discretion, with love and delight, 

with ease and affection 

and with perserverence unto the end.
May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance!

 Jesus~my riches my delight my pleasure my joy

Jesus~my rest and tranquility

Jesus~my peace my sweetness

Jesus~my fragrance my sweet savor

Jesus~my food my refreshment

Jesus~my refuge my help

Jesus~my wisdom my portion

Jesus~my posession, my treasure

Jesus~in Whom my mind and my heart may ever be fixed

and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and forever."
Amen.

 Saint Bonaventure said, 

"He who wishes to go on advancing 

from virtue to virtue, from grace to grace, 

should constantly meditate upon 
the passion of Jesus Christ."
