Grant us, O most merciful Jesus, your grace ever to desire and to will what is most acceptable to you and most pleasing in your sight.
Let your will be ours, and let our will ever follow yours, and fully accord with it.
Let there be between you and us one single will, so that we may love what you love, and abhor what you hate; and let us not be able to will anything which you do not want, nor let us dislike anything which you desire.
Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471)
