O Lord, burn my heart with your love, and let me, by the power of this ardent love, love my neighbour with a perfect love.

    Amen. I have the image of a flame that sets light to everything around it. “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.” (Matthew 5:14,15)
    Wow!
