CHAPTER III.
That it is profitable to communicate often.
The voice of the disciple.
*BEHOLD, O Lord, I come unto thee, that I may be comforted by thy gift, and delighted in thy holy banquet, which thou, O God, hast prepared in thy goodness for the poor.
Behold in thee is all I can or ought to desire; thou art my salvation, and my redemption, my hope and my strength, my honour and my glory!
*Make joyful, therefore, this day, the soul of thy servant, for I have lifted it up unto thee, O Lord Jesus.
*I desire to receive thee now with devotion and reverence. I long to bring thee into my house; that with Zaccheus I may be blessed by thee, and numbered among the children of Abraham.
My soul thirsteth to receive thy body and blood, my heart desireth to be united with thee.
*2. Give me thyself, and it sufficeth; for, besides thee, no comfort is available.
