A prayer of St Francis

I came across this prayer I didn't know on the 'Friends of the OCDS' site

'I beg you Lord,

let the fiery gentle power of your love

Take possession of my soul

and snatch it away

from anything under heaven,

that I may die

for love of your love,

as you saw fit to die

for love of mine.'
