My God and Lord, I thank Thee for the grace which Thou hast this morning bestowed upon me, of coming to dwell in my soul; but I would wish to thank Thee in a manner worthy of Thee and of the great favor which Thou hast done me. But what do I say? how can such a miserable creature as I am ever worthily thank Thee?

Father Segneri says that the feeling most becoming a soul who communicates is that of wondering astonishment at the thought, and to repeat, “A God is united to me; a God is mine!” David said, “What shall I render to the Lord for all the things that He hath rendered to me?”—Ps. cxv. 12. But I! what return shall I make to Thee, my Jesus, Who, after having given me so many of Thy good things, hast this morning, moreover, given me Thyself? My soul, bless, then, and thank thy God as best thou canst. And thou, my Mother Mary, my holy advocates, my guardian angel, and all ye souls who love God, “Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things He hath done for my soul.”—Ps. lxv. 16. Come and bless and thank my God for me, admiring and praising the truly great graces which He has granted me.
