“Come, my Light, and illumine my darkness. Come, my Life, and revive me from death. Come, my Physician, and heal my wounds. Come, Flame of Divine Love, and burn up the thorns of my sins, kindling my heart with the flame of Thy Love. Come, my King, sit upon the Throne of my heart and reign there. For Thou art alone my King and Lord.”

 

-  St. Dimitrii of Rostov
