The Healing Wounds of Love

"So we ask that we might know you better and more fully, and that you give us nothing but yourself. For you are our all: our light, our life, our salvation, our food and our drink, our God. Inspire our hearts with the breath of your spirit; wound our souls with your love, so that the soul of each and every one of us may truthfully say 'Show me my soul's desire,' for I am wounded by your love...

...So let us ask Christ, the good and saving physician, to wound the depths of our souls with a healing wound - the same Jesus Christ who reigns in unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen"

         -Columbanus, 6th Century AD
