Be Praised, My Lord, Through Those Who

...in This World I Cannot See The Most High Son Of God With My Own Eyes, Except For His Most Holy Body And Blood.

The Lord Called Me By The Way Of Simplicity And Humility, And This Way He Hath Shown Me In Truth For Me And Those Who Will Believe And Imitate Me. And Therefore I Would That Ye Name Not To Me Any Rule, Neither Of St. Augustine, Nor St. Benedict, Nor Of Bernard, Nor Any Way Or Form Of Living, But That Which Was Mercifully Shown And Given Me By The Lord.

It Is Not Fitting, When One Is In God's Service, To Have A Gloomy Face Or A Chilling Look.

Such Was The Will Of The Father That His Son, Blessed And Glorious, Whom He Gave To Us, And Who Was Born For Us, Should By His Own Blood, Sacrifice, And Oblation, Offer Himself On The Altar Of The Cross, Not For Himself, By Whom "all Things Were Made," But For Our Sins, Leaving Us An Example That We Should Follow His Steps.

Be Patient, Because The Weaknesses Of The Body Are Given To Us In This World By God For The Salvation Of The Soul. So They Are Of Great Merit When They Are Borne Patiently.
