O supreme and unapproachable light! O whole and blessed truth, how far art thou from me, who am so near to thee! How far removed art thou from my vision, though I am so near to thine! Everywhere thou art wholly present, and I see thee not. In thee I move, and in thee I have my being; and I cannot come to thee. Thou art within me, and about me, and I feel thee not.

Spare me through your mercy, do not punish me through your justice.

Therefore Lord, not only are you that than which a greater cannot be thought but you are also something greater than can be thought.
