a partial return, absolving <strong>the</strong>e of thy obligations; but<br />

ra<strong>the</strong>r feel thyself more deeply pledged and obliged <strong>to</strong><br />

put in practice<br />

<strong>the</strong> doctrine thou hast recorded; and as<br />

long as thou refusest <strong>to</strong> do so, thou wilt remain poor, un<br />

relieved of thy indebtedness, and subject <strong>to</strong> a rigorous<br />

account for all thou hast received. Now is <strong>the</strong> time <strong>to</strong><br />

work, so that thou mayest find thyself prepared, at lei<br />

sure, and disengaged <strong>to</strong> receive <strong>the</strong> Spouse at <strong>the</strong> hour<br />

of death. Look upon my freedom and detachment from<br />

all earthly things : govern thyself by it, and let not <strong>the</strong><br />

oil of light and of love fail <strong>the</strong>e (Matth. 25, 3), in order<br />

that thou mayest enter <strong>the</strong> nuptials of <strong>the</strong> Spouse through<br />

<strong>the</strong> open gates of his infinite mercy and clemency.<br />
