May the power of your love, O Lord, fiery and sweet as honey, wean my heart form all that is under heaven, so that I may die for love of your love, you who were so good as to die for love of my love.
Saint Francis of Assisi
Attributed to St. Francis by Thomas of Celano in his Second Life of St. Francis
(II Cel., 196: "The love of him," he said, "who loved us so much is to be loved.")
