       begotten  Son,  beseeching  thee  that  thou  wouldest  so
       enlighten me with the light of thy knowledge, that I may
       never be led astray by the spirit of error.
          I  commend  it  likewise  to  thy  most  compassionate
       goodness, O Holy Ghost the Comforter, beseeching thee
       that this my faith may so work in me by charity, that at
       the hour of my death it may be found perfect and entire.
                       TRUST IN GOD
       Our  Lord  said  to  St.  Mechtilde:  Of  a  truth  it  greatly
       pleases  me  that  men  should  confidently  expect  great
       things  from  me,  for  it  is  impossible  that  a  man  should

       me, and to confide sincerely in me. Our Lord gave also a
       like assurance to St. Gertrude.

       O
              the  poorest  of  thy  creatures  and  infinitely
              unworthy of the least good at thy hands, do yet
       so confidently hope in thy tender kindness, that I have no
       manner  of  doubt  that  as  thou  knowest  how  to  succour
       and aid me, so thou both canst and wilt be with me in all
       things.  I  know,  indeed,  O  compassionate  God,  that  if
       thou  wert  to  deal  with  me  as  I  have  deserved,  I  could
       expect  no  grace  at  thy  hand,  but  only  manifold  rebuke
       and punishment; but since I know that thy goodness is so
       exuberant  that  thou  art  wont  to  do  good  even  to  thy
