God, I pray, I want to know you, I want to love you and be able to take pleasure in you. And if in this life I am not able to do that in full measure, I can at least progress every day until I reach fullness. May knowledge of you grow in me here, and reach fullness there; may love for you grow here, and be complete there; may my joy here be great in hope, and there be full in reality...
Saint Anselm of Canterbury
Proslogium 26
