O GOD, Who hast enkindled in the holy bosoms of all Thy saints so great an ardor of faith, that they despised all bodily pains while hastening with all earnestness to Thee, the Author of life: Hear our prayers, and grant that the hateful sweetness of sin may wax faint in us, and that we may glow with the infused warmth of love for Thee through Thy mercy, O our God, Who are blessed, and dost live and govern all things, world without end. (Oremus, 1925, p.35).
