51 My Lord Supreme, My Beloved Supreme,...

My Lord Supreme, my Beloved Supreme,

My Absolute Lord Supreme,

Please teach me how to sweeten my heart

With my soulfulness-tears.

Please teach my heart how to climb up

Into the skies of readiness, willingness,

Eagerness and selflessness.

Please teach me how to escape

From my doubting mind,

From my ungrateful heart

And from my fearful life.

Please teach me how to forgive my enemies

So that I can have newness in my life.

Please teach me how to forgive myself

So that I can have fulness in my life.

Finally, please teach me how to love myself

The way You love me,

For my real perfection

And for my real satisfaction.
