"O Almighty & merciful Father, You pour Your benefits upon us--forgive the unthankfulness with which we have requited Your goodness. We have remained before You with dead & senseless hearts, unkindled with love of Your gentle & enduring goodness. Turn us, O merciful Father, & so shall we be turned. Make us with our whole heart to hunger & thirst after You, & with all our longing to desire You. Amen" (Anselm, 1033-1109).
