"It is before Your holy tabernacles that my heart dried up by cruel trials has constantly found the necessary strength to bear them; there my struggles have become victories, my weakness courage, my lukewarmness fervour, my perplexities have been changed into light, my sadness into joy, obstacles into success, my desires into the will to accomplish them, my antipathies, jealousies, resentments into burning charity. All I know I have learned at Your feet, O Lord; receive therefore the homage of all I am and all that I have, of all I can ever think, say or do that is good."
