"Sun of light, dispel my darkness! O Sun of grace, take away my sins! O Sun of love, inflame me with the fire of Thy charity! O Sun of justice, have mercy on me: make me just and innocent before Thine eyes. Alas! Behold me in the presence of the Sun, and yet plunged into darkness! Behold me in a furnace of love, and my heart colder than ice. Beautiful Sun, enlighten me; beautiful Sun, warm me; beautiful Sun, gladden me, console me, enliven me."
- St.Augustine
