Lord, I am yours, and I must belong to no one but you. My soul is yours and must live only by you. My will is yours and must love only for you. I must love you as my first cause since I am from you. I must love you as my end and rest since I am for you. I must love you more than my own being since my being subsists by you. I must love you more than myself since I am all yours and all in you.
