...that my JOY may be full ...

  "No one will have any other desire in heaven than what God wills;

and the desire of one will be the desire of all;
and the desire of all and of each one
will also be the desire of God." - St. Anselm, Letter 112

"I adore and venerate You as much as ever I can,

though my love is so cold, my devotion so poor.

Thank You for the good gift of this

Your holy Body and Blood, which I desire to receive...

that which You promised through Your truth,
that my joy may be full…"

"O God our God, grant us grace to desire you with a whole heart,

so that desiring you we may seek and find you;

and so finding you, may love you;

and loving you may hate those sins which separate us from you,

for the sake of Jesus Christ." ~ St Anselm

 

"From the moment of her fiat 

Mary began to carry all of us in her womb." ~ St Anselm
