Totus amore languens
Language: Latin
Totus amore languens, totus ardore succensus, erga altaris sacramentum, fidelis animus ardebat et in extasim raptus, sic dicebat: "Epulare, delectare, felicissimum cor meum. Datur tibi manducare panem coeli, verum Deum. Quid hoc coelesti ardore delectabilius? Quid suavius? Non mannae dulcedo, non lactis pinguedo, non favus, non mei. Ite procul o dapes mundanae. Ite vanae, vos non quero, non cupio vestra gaudia, foris amena, intus poena, cibus vester non satiat." Eia ergo, o anima mea, ad haec incendia divina semper ardens, semper spirans curre propera festina.
