Act of Love and Desire before Holy Communion #1
Oh, that I could love Thee, Jesus,
as if I had knelt at Thy feet
and felt the touch of Thy hand on my brow,

as the poor of Galilee loved Thee,
as Mary Magdalen love...

I Came to You Late
I came to You late, O Beauty so ancient and new. I came to love You late.

Love Afire
A beggar, gaunt, was known to us,
Though harshness claimed his life,
He endured despair and want,
Rejection, pain and strife.
Beaten down, he faltered... fell,
The flies there came to feast,
With stricken flesh he moaned aloud,
"See here, the least of least"
You and I, we sighed in pity,
And rai...
