O my beloved Christ, crucified for love, would that I might be for you a spouse of your heart!
I would anoint you with glory, I would love you - even unto death!
Yet I sense my frailty and ask you to adorn me with yourself; identify my soul with all the movements of your soul, submerge me, overwhelm me, substitute yourself in me that my life may become but a reflection of your life.  Come into me as Adorer, Redeemer and Savior.    -St Elizabeth of the Trinity
