contempt and ignominy which thy peerless and excelling
dignity sustains at the hands of ungrateful men. Amen.

He who ardently desires and firmly resolves to love and
praise me more than I am praised and loved by any other
creature shall undoubtedly, said our Lord to St.
Gertrude, receive an abundant reward from my divine
bounty; a reward oftentimes greater than that which he
could obtain by good works.
O
GOD of my heart, I love thee with all my heart,
and I would that I could love thee a thousand-

fold more. Would that I could praise and love
thee beyond every other of thy creatures; that I could
give thee thanks and condole with thee, and practice all
virtues in greatest perfection: most eagerly and gladly
would I do so, according to the sovereign good pleasure
of thy divine Heart.

O my sweet Love, could I bring before thee, my Lord and
my God, all men in whom thou hast vouchsafed to take
thy delights, I would most gladly go barefoot throughout
the world, and bring to thee in my arms all in whose
hearts thou dost deign and delight to dwell, that I might
thus satisfy the yearnings of thy infinite, thy divine love.
And moreover, were it possible, I would divide my heart
