From Bonaventure: Desire for Christ

Earlier Rule by St. Francis
From Chapter 23

With our whole heart,
our whole soul,
our whole mind,
with our whole strength and fortitude,
with our whole understanding

with all our powers
with every effort,
every affection,
every feeling,
every desire and wish
let us all love the Lord God
Who has given and gives to each one of us
Our whole body, our whole soul and our whole life.
Who has created, redeemed and will save us by His mercy
Alone
Who did and does everything good for us…
The only true God,
Who is the fullness of good,
All good, every good, the true and supreme good
Who alone is good,
Merciful, gentile delectable and sweet…
