St Catherine of Siena – Eternal Trinity

~

Eternal Trinity,

Godhead,

mystery deep as the sea,

you could give me no greater gift

than the gift of

yourself.

For you are a fire ever burning and never consumed,

which itself consumes all the selfish love

that fills my being.

Yes, you are a fire that takes away the coldness,

illuminates the mind with its light,

and causes me to know your

truth.

And I know that

you are beauty and wisdom itself.

The food of angels,

you gave yourself to man

in the fire of your

love.
