Jacopone da Todi

Sweet, incomparable love, you are Christ. You are love that joins friends who fight; love that annoints wounds and cures them; love that pardons those who offend you and crown with glory those who know how to humble themselves.

Sweet and delicate love, you are the uncreated Divine. You make the seraphim flame with your glory; you make cherubim, apostles, and martyrs happy; you draw prophets from the devil’s net. We have such thirst for you, sweet love, and may it never be satisfied.
