July 15, 2013 Monday: St. Bonnaventure

Jesus, pierce my soul with your love
so that I may always long for you alone,
the fulfillment of the soul’s deepest desires.
May my heart always hunger and feed on you,
my soul thirst for you, the source of life, wisdom,
knowledge, light and all the riches of God.
May I always seek and find you,
think about you, speak to you
and do everything for your honor and glory.
Be always my hope, my peace,
my refuge and my help
in whom my heart if rooted,
so that I may never be separated from you. Amen.

— St. Bonaventure
