promise of thy Only-begotten, and on his most abundant
and exuberant merits, which he has communicated and
made over to his elect. And hence I abound with so great
joy and consolation, because I seem already to possess

promised me salvation and his merits, which are its title
and its price, is most faithful, nor can any word which
has gone forth from his mouth be revoked or fail.
Vouchsafe, O eternal Father, to increase in me this hope
and trust which I give into thy merciful keeping, until I
see thee in thy unfading eternity, and hope is lost in
fruition. Amen.

insults and affronts whereby his honour is outraged, and
expresses to him all its yearning tenderness, his anger is
appeased, and he spares the world of sinners. For one

living and departed than ten thousand who are cold and
unloving.

MY God, most worthy object of my love, my
supreme and infinite Good, I love thee and will
love thee forever and ever; I embrace thee with
all the affections of my heart, with the strong embrace of
