Sunday, June 2 : J.B. Bossuet

Place your mind before the mirror of eternity! Place your soul in the brilliance of glory! Place your heart in the figure of the divine substance and, through contemplation, transform your entire being into the image of the Godhead itself, so that you may feel what friends feel in tasting the hidden sweetness that, from the beginning, God Himself has reserved for his lovers. And, after all who ensnare their blind lovers in a deceitful and turbulent world have been completely passed over, may you totally love him. Since you have cast aside all those things which, in this deceitful and turbulent world, ensnare their blind lovers, love him totally who gave himself totally for your love. His beauty the sun and moon admire, and of his gifts there is no limit in abundance, preciousness and magnitude. I am speaking of him who is the Son of the Most High, whom the Virgin brought to birth and remained a virgin after his birth.
