come quickly

Hello, Lord.
Here I am.

Do I feel my heart dilated, Lord, when you come near to me?

Thank you, Lord, for your sweet consolations, for which I let you bate me.
Yet even I fight these at times, Lord.
Still, you send them, and I cannot help but be aware of them.

But what of your Cross, Lord?
"This, too, is a form of consolation.  A suffering that is an experience of Love."

And the dark nights, Lord?
"This is a preparation for the Cross, the true union with Myself.  Come quickly, and do not hinder the night.  I myself will lead you.
Come... come... come...."

Oh Lord, how good and merciful you are.  You are so patient with me.

I want to be closer to you.
