Metanoia

May we open our eyes to see the Love of God, our hands to share His love to others, and our hearts to love our brothers and sisters, most specially the poor.

Give me Yourself, O my God, give Yourself to me. Behold I love You, and if my love is too weak a thing, grant me to love You more strongly. I cannot measure my love to know how much it falls short of being sufficient, but let my   soul  hasten to Your embrace and never be turned away until it is hidden in the  secret  shelter of Your presence. This only do I know, that it is not  good  for me when You are not with me, when You are only outside me. I want You in my very self. All the plenty in the world which is not my  God  is utter want. Amen. - St. Augustine of Hippo
