668 CITY OF GOD
fruit a hundredfold; that it may not be snatched away
by the birds of prey, the dragon and his demons; for of
their wrath I have been warned in every word I have
written of Thee, my Lady. Guide me unto the end, com
mand me as my Queen, instruct me as my Teacher, cor
rect me as my Mother. Receive as thanksgiving for all
which Thou hast
this thy own life and the high pleasure
afforded to the most blessed Trinity, as the perfection
of his marvels. Let the angels and saints praise Thee, let
all nations and generations know Thee; let all creatures,
in Thee and through Thee, eternally bless their Creator
and let my soul and all my faculties magnify Thee.
791. This heavenly history (as I have adverted
throughout the course of it)
I have written in obedience
to the commands of my superiors and confessors, who
have had the guidance of my soul. They have assured
me that I would fulfill the will of God through obedience
in writing it, and that I should obey the most blessed
Mother, who for many years has commanded me to
write it; and although I have always subjected all of it
to the criticism and to the will of my superiors, with
holding not a single word from their scrutiny : I never
theless submit it
again to their better judgment. Above
all do I submit it to the amendment and correction of the
holy Roman Catholic Church, to whose censure and
teaching, as her daughter, I protest I will be subject,
ready to believe and hold all that this same holy Church,
our Mother, approves and believes, and ready to reject
all that she rejects; for in obedience to her I wish to
live and to die. Amen.
THE END.
