My Lord and my Creator

Saint Charbel's Family "They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" Acts 2-42

My Lord and my Creator,

you bear with me

and nourish me

be my helper

I thirst for you,

I hunger for you,

I desire you,

I sigh for you,

I covet you:

I am like an orphan

deprived of the presence

Of a very kind father

Who, weeping and wailing,

Does not cease to cling

To The dear face

With his whole heart.

I want you,

I hope for you,

I seek you;

“To you my heart has said, seek my face”,

“Your face, Lord, have I sought;

Turn not your face from me.”

Saint Anselm
