O mystical doctor –
help us by way of the Cross
to find wisdom and knowledge of Christ
and union with God;
let us desire to enter
the suffering of the Lord,
that by this means
we may draw closer
to His glorious presence
and there remain in joy.
Let us fear not
the dark night the soul must endure
but bear it well,
that we might be purged of all blindness;
pray the Lord will shine upon us
His holy light
and we might soon look upon
His face
with you.
May the Lord’s Cross overshadow all
and anoint every soul
with the peace that surpasses understanding,
with His undying love.
