For Love of "Todo y Nada"

(in honor of my Carmelite patron, San Juan de la Cruz)

You are my all.
You are my everything.
All that I am
I owe to You alone.
I am nothing
unless my being resides fully in You.

Bring me to nothing in myself
but to everything in You.
Teach me to know nothing of myself
unless it is through You and
in knowing You.

Because in You I live
and move
and have my being.

in You alone, O God.
