O UNSPEAKABLE BEAUTY that surrounds, penetrates and transcends into eternity, O Beauty that shines forever brightly, ever here and ever there, ever always present in places sacred to Thy holy remembrance, in places found within the soul of every creature in need of Thee.
Arise in me and cure me of my deformity, my perversity, my ugliness, my constant rebellion.
Though I weep with guilt and shame at every thought of Thee, though I should recede back into the darkness where I truly belong, Thou has seen into my soul and my soul has caught a glimpse of Thee!
O what can a mere creature do at the hint of Thee, O unspeakable Beauty?
By Thy own Truth, Thou hast enraptured my heart and now I am madly in love with Thee.
I reject all that is not Thee!
Ever in spite of me, I constantly long for Thee, I thirst and I hunger for Thee.
O Beauty, Thou art Beautiful for Thy being Beautiful, who can resist Thee?
Bless me, convince me, lead me on and fulfill what Thou sees as Thy reflection in me. Become the fullness of Thy own image and likeness that Thou has imparted in me, and lose me forever into the depths of Thy Being.
Make use of me and recreate me into an instrument of Thy holy creation and a servant to all Thy beautiful works of divine artistry.
O wonderful God, O wonderful God! O what majesty! O what glory! O what Beauty! Thou art truly Beautiful for Thy being Beautiful. Arise in the hearts of all Thy servants, arise in our poor world, that we may learn to see what is beautiful for being beheld by Thee.

Abide in us, O dearest LORD and Love of my love, spread upon our souls Thine infinite horizons and become for each one of us as the breaking of the new dawn from on high.
AMEN.
AMEN.
I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine.
