on account of my sins; here are those sacred wounds
made by the nails and spear; here are those eyes which
looked with pity and love on the penitent Peter, now
gazing into my heart, now raised to plead for me with
the heavenly Father; here are those ears, which heard
the cruel cry of the Jews, "Crucify Him," which listened
so compassionately to all the ills of men, and which
now are listening to me.
Lord, I believe that here on the altar Thy wounded
Heart is beating for love of me, and I recall Thy
blessed words: "My Heart is so consumed with love
for men, that it can no longer restrain the flames
of its charity." Sweet words of Thine, 0 blessed
Saviour! I believe that they are true, and true as
regardi myself. - FR. R ~ R E S. , J.

B GOD, I believe most finnly that Thou
watchest over all who hope in Thee, and that
we can want for nothing when we rely upon Thee in
all things; therefore I am resolved for the future to
have no anxieties, and to cast all my cares upon Thee.
"In peace in the sel -same I will skep and I m.uil
rest; for Th, 0 f, d, singularly hast setUed me in
hope." \
Men may deprive me of worldly goods and of honors;
sickness may take from me my strength and the means
of serving Thee; I may even lose Thy grace by sin;
but my trust shall never leave me. I will preserve it to
the last moment of my life, and the powers of hell shall
seek in vain to wrest it from me. "In peace in the
self-same I will sleep and I will rest."
