Prayers of the Saints
Eternal God, Eternal Trinity (St. Catherine of Siena)
From The Dialogue of St.
Eternal God, eternal Trinity, you have made the blood of Christ so precious through his sharing in your divine nature. You are a mystery as deep as the sea; the more I search, the more I find, and the more I find the more I search for you.
But I can never be satisfied; what I receive will ever leave me desiring more. When you fill my soul I have an ever greater hunger, and I grow more famished for your light.
I desire above all to see you, the true light, as you really are. Amen.
St. Catherine of Siena, The Dialogue
