English text
Where do we begin? Begin with the heart.
“God, of thy goodness, give me Thyself;
for Thou art enough for me,
and I can ask for nothing less
that can be full honour to Thee.
And if I ask anything that is less,
ever Shall I be in want,
for only in Thee have I all.”
Between God and the soul there is no between.
“Not only He taketh heed to noble things and to great, but also to little and to small, to low and to simple, to one and to other.
And so meaneth He in that He saith: ALL MANNER OF THINGS shall be well. ”
A great thing shall I make hereof in Heaven of endless worship and everlasting joys.
All will be well, and every kind of thing will be well.
