Philanthropic Lord, you did not forget your sinful servant, but full of mercy you saw me from your glory and appeared to me in an incomprehensible way!
I always offended you and pitied you. But you, Lord, for my small repentance you gave me to know your great love and your immeasurable goodness.
Your cheerful and gentle look pleased my soul. What shall I repay Thee, Lord, or what praise shall I offer Thee? You give your grace, so that my heart burns unceasingly with love, and finds no rest either night or day from divine love.
Your memory warms my soul, which nothing on earth rests except You. That is why I ask You with tears, and again my mind longs for your sweetness... Lord, give me to love only You.
You created me, You enlightened me with holy Baptism, You forgive my sins and give me the grace to partake of your holy Body and Blood. Give me the strength to stay close to you always. Lord, give me the repentance of Adam and your holy humility.
Amen
