Ignite, then, O my God, within my breast the fire
of Thy love, that its flame may burn up all else except
my remembrance of Thee, that every trace of corrupt
desire may be entirely mortified within me, and that
naught may remain except the glorification of Thy
transcendent and all-glorious Being. This is my highest
aspiration, mine ardent desire, O Thou Who rulest
all things, and in Whose hand is the kingdom of the
entire creation. Thou, verily, doest what Thou choosest.
No God is there beside Thee, the Almighty, the
All-Glorious, the Ever-Forgiving.
