"Therefore, we ask that we may know what we love,
since we ask nothing other than that you give us yourself.
For you are our all: our life, our light, our salvation,
our food and our drink, our God. Inspire our hearts, I ask you, Jesus,
with that breath of your Spirit; wound our souls with your love,
so that the soul of each and every one of us may say in truth:
Show me my soul’s desire, for I am wounded by your love."
~~ St. Columban

This jumped out at me too. Really a lovely one. And coming 2 days after Augustine' "Late Have I loved thee", and three days after Monica's "remember me at the altar of the Lord", it's been liturgical poetry week.
Liturgical poetry indeed! So beautiful.
