Thursday, May 2 : Saint Gertrude of Helfta
What am I, O my God, thou Love of my heart? What mournful unlikeness to thee! I am but an almost imperceptible drop, and thou art the great and shoreless ocean of ineffable and most tender love. O love, Love, open to me thy pitying heart. Let the water floods of thy fatherly goodness overwhelm me; break uo the fountains of the great deep of thine infinite goodness, and let it swallow me up, that I may be absorbed and lost in the ocean of thine infinite love. Thy love is impetuous as a mighty flood; may I sink and disappear beneath its waters, even as a feeble spark is lost in the immensity of the sea.
