“God, of your goodness, give me yourself, for you are enough for me. I may ask nothing less that is fully to your worship, and if I do ask anything less, ever shall I be in want. Only in you I have all.”

Julian of Norwich (1342-1416), anchorite and author of Showings, as recounted in Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals, 277.
