In foco ardentissimo by Bianca Maria Meda — Lyrics
In foco ardentissimo, O anime fælices, ardete jubilate,
in immensa letitia gaudentes festinate et Jesum adorate.
O spes dulcissima,
esca gratissima immenso gaudio cupio te.
O mensa celica dapes angelica suavi pabulo satia me.
Saturare ergo anima mea tanta suavitate
in convivio glorioso in sanguine pretioso,
lava cor, auge spem, purga crimen, accede et gusta mel.
O dilecte Jesu care veni, veni consolare,
me solare o vera sors.

About In foco ardentissimo
This sacred motet for SATB voices is set in Latin. The text expresses an ardent longing for union with Jesus, viewing it as a divine feast and heavenly manna that nourishes the soul. It contrasts the fleeting and painful fortunes of this world with the sweet solace found in divine love. The singer implores Jesus to come and console them, finding true joy and satisfaction in this devotion, rejecting worldly pleasures as molesting and painful. The music likely reflects the intensity of this spiritual desire and the ultimate peace found in Christ.
