Prayer of the Enamored Soul

A poetic declaration of total belonging to God, expressing adoration and joy in His all‑encompassing love.

Mine are the heavens and mine is the earth; mine are the nations, the just are mine, and mine are the sinners. The angels are mine, and the Mother of God, and all things are mine; and God Himself is mine and for me, because Christ is mine and all for me. What then do you ask and seek, my soul? Yours is all of this, and all is for you.

Written by St. John of the Cross
