My God, I love you above all else
and you I desire as my final goal.
Always and in all things,
with my whole heart and strength I seek you.
If you do not give yourself to me,
you give nothing;
if I do not find you,
I find nothing.
Grant me, therefore, most loving God,
that I may always love you for yourself above all things,
and seek you in all things in the present life,
so that finally I may find you and keep you
for ever in the world to come.
Thomas Bradwardine, c. 1300 – 1349, English scholastic philosopher
