What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Bede
I am for my beloved, etc. I am for my beloved and not for another. To whom I offer the whole gift of my service and devotion. And his conversion to me, so that even in this mortal life, lest I become weary by labor, lest I bear lamps without oil, that is, lest I carry out good works without charity, his presence and constant regard may always help me, and finally he may lead me to immortal joys of the heavenly chamber. …
Robert of Tombelaine
As if she were saying: since by faith and love I cling to Christ alone, follow Him alone, desire to see Him alone as one God with the Father and the Holy Spirit, I joyfully experience the sweetness of His regard, the kindness of His visitation, the delight of His turning toward me.
