The Light of Your Light

You, O eternal Trinity, are a deep sea,
into which the more I enter the more I
find, and the more I find the more I seek.
The soul cannot be satiated in your abyss,
for she continually hungers after you, the
eternal Trinity, desiring to see you with
the light of your light. As the heart desires
the springs of living water, so my soul
desires to leave the prison of this dark
body and see you in truth.

- Catherine of Siena (1347-1380),
Dialog of Catherine of Siena [1378],
Treatise of Obedience, xi.
