My Lord!
My eyes were privileged
to contemplate on Your glorious Majesty;
what grace have You given me!
I, who am the least
to have received such a gift
to be able to possess Your Majesty,
and contemplate You in Your Mystery.
– Fountain of Wisdom,
You are treating me in a supreme way,
full of goodness and boundless tenderness
to recognise my God Thrice Holy,
to recognise Him as Father,
as Beloved and Abba.
– Fountain of Understanding
that makes gardens out of deserts,
fruit-trees out of thorns and thistles,
incredibly ravishing, palpitating,
Your glorious appearance
leaves my heart spellbound.
– Fountain of Counsel,
my Cup, my Drink,
King from the beginning,
You are continuously displaying
Your Majestic counsel
with kindness to your pupil;
this is why my heart
is pining away with love.
Glory is His Holy Name;
how can one praise You enough?
– Fountain of Fortitude,
resplendently awesome,
have You seen how we are? Reduced,
lacking, weak, and a deplorable sight,
yet, we belong to You, we come from You.
See? See how our knees are trembling
and are weak for lack of Food?
See how so many of us
have become an object of derision?
So come, Spirit of Grace,
I implore Your Majesty
to put Your Breath once more in us
so that fresh life begins.
One Word of command from You
and the entire world can be renewed!
– O Fountain of Knowledge,
come and govern me
to penetrate in the Mystery of God;
my eyes have seen nothing,
my ears have heard nothing,
and my touch
will still remain in the unknown,
unless You show me Your Face,
and let me hear Your Voice;
have You not noticed
how I yearn for Your Courts?
– Fountain of Piety,
why is it so difficult to grasp You?
Is it because my hands are so soiled?
Why do you shy away from me?
Am I to remain imperfect?
You are always true to Your promises,
and You are known
to give liberty to prisoners,
and so I invoke You,
grant me the attitude of Your Saints
so that I may celebrate
Your acts of power one day.
Liberate me, for under Your protection
the pious are known to be safe.
– Fountain of Fear,
token of Your true disciples,
