St. Joseph wrote:

My sweetest Jesus, balsam of my soul,

Love of my heart, air of my breath,

Noetic Light most sweet, my eros, my strength,

Amazing love, yearning of my life,

My faith and hope, my sweet love,

O most coveted Savior, sweet consolation,

Come, my sweet breath; come my divine life;

Come, light of mine eyes, my sweet joy,

And enlighten my bowels, mind, and heart,

And bestow upon my body perfect dispassion.

Flash in my mind Thy divine illumination-

The most brilliant movement of Thy divine knowledge.
