When you no longer love yourself
but love goodness,
you and your Beloved will become one.
When you love him, he must love you in return;
in his charity you are drawn to him
and the two are made one.
This is a true union
that admits no divisions.
(The Lauds, in memory of Francis by Jacopone da Todi)
