there receiued you make it your delight to remain in it oh come my IESVS come presently into it I burn with a desire to receive you there and to make you the God of my hart Come thither to receive yourself and to love your self there for I of my self am nothing and can do nothing so I leave all to you and will remain in my nothing in your presence 3. O yee Seraphins that I had your respect O Mary that I had your love O my hart what can you desire love and breath after but your IESVS I will live no longer to my self I ought to be nothing to all things and IESVS ought to be all to me 4. O my love enter into my hart to reign there absolutly to possesse it alone and to animate it with your self let all within me give place to IESVS humour satisfaction pleasure vanity self love let all give place to IESVS he is master here he is the God of my hart 5. Remain at the feet of IESVS as a Magdalen in silence and as it were retired into thy own nothing let him give thanks and honour his Father in you let him consummat in your hart the holocauste of his love to which he will joyne yours O love ô lover ô God of love live reign triumph distroy sacrifice in me all that is not your self 6. When your state consists of pure faith in darknesse and aridity remain in peace in it and content your self to have JESVS within you it is enough it is sufficient for you to have him seeke not a great many thoughts nor many acts to make known your gratitude and love to him let him do what he pleases in you My God and my all let me only live for you by you and in you 8. Going from communion remember that IESVS ought to act speake and suffer in you and by you O tongue dyed with the blood of a God. O hart full of the Majesty of God. O sense ô mind ô body animated with the purity of a God can you tye your selves any longer to a creature FOR EXAMEN AND CONFESSION 1. AFTER having examin'd for some time the voluntary imperfections that you have fallen into contrary to the light which God gave you as also all the unprofitable thoughts and reflections the eagernesses and promtitudes of your hart the impatiences of your tongue and the negligences of your actions employ your self in some of the insuing thoughts 2. Is it possible ô my God that I should have displeased you That I should have the confusion to have prefered a bauble before you How sorry am I to have provoked your anger against me O my IESVS punish me as you please but pardon me I desire to satisfy your justice but I cannot suffer the sight of your anger against me 3. Ah my JESUS what blood and teares have my infidelitys cost you And how litle have they cost me You dyed in pain to blot out my sinns and I will not use the least violence to my self to overcome them No my IESUS I will not afflict or torment you any more by my sinns what pain soever I vndergo 4. O Goodnesse of my God how long have you sought me O patience of my God how long have you waited for me How long shall I continually contemn your calls your allurements and your love O sins ô infidelity ô basenesse I detest you because you injure my God. 5. Shall I allways be vnfaithfull to so many graces which you bestow vpon me What allways receive a thousand benefits from you and allways render you a thousand ingratitudes Oh my IESVS pardon me I dye with griefe to have given you so great and so just a displeasure 6. Is it possible that for a nothing I have so offended you ô my dear IESVS How have I preferred a small satisfaction of my own to that of your hart Yes so long as I content my self in this effusion of hart in this promptitude in this humoursome word in this detraction this resentment this liberty and remissnesse you behold me my IESVS say to me in my hart is it because you have a mind to displease me to offend me and to draw me from you is it that I am not better then this pleasure which moves you to sinn And I make answere by my actions my IESVS yes I love to content my self rather then to please you O love ô goodnesse contemned ô hart of my IESVS I deserve not that you should receive me But I hope all things of your mercy and I protest that you shall be all to me and all things else shall be nothing 7. Mortall sinn mak's us loose gods favour veniall sinn cools it and di●ves us from him imperfection and the life of nature stops and hinders vs from going to him it renders his graces his blood his love uselesse to our salvation O sinn either grievous or light I have a greater horrour of you then of death because you offend my God I will hence forth live a life altogether supernaturall and quite contrary to my owne inclinations 8. Remember that you reflect not to much vpon your sinns and take care not to disquiet your self for them A simple and amourous return towards God within you is sufficient is it possible my God that I should have displeased you Behold this is what I can only do of my self but it is that which I will endeavour by the assistance of your grace to do no more This suffices then forget all and loose your self in God. 9. Make your confession after the clearest and shortest manner you are able and receive absolution with an interiour sense of confusion griefe and love without designing to tast any sensibility 10. Go from confession throuly penetrated with the goodnesse of a God who presently pardons and of your ingratitude who continually offend him and remaining in his presence and in him with a respectfull silence let him take possession of you abandoning your self intirely to him O bounty of my God possesse my hart ô Justice of my God satisfy and content your self upon me For the employment and exteriour occupations of the day 1. ENDEAVOVR to performe all your actions in the presence of God to content God and without contenting your self Follow allways the will of God and the motions of his grace and never incline to your owne humour to the end God may live in you and that he may act by you 2. Be faithfull by continually dying to all unprofitable reflections of your mind to hasty words your humour and the impatience of your tongue to the propensions vivacity of your nature and be persuaded that the more faithfull you shall be in this the more you will advance in your state so that all your application thrô out the day is to possess your self to be of an equall temper and to refrain in occasions what ever you shall perceive lesse perfect 3. This fidelity of dying and of denying your self

the least satisfaction or effusion of hart towards creatures will make you continually to go out of your self to loose your self in God and to remain in him and this is the true effect of the state of faith to which you are called for the life of faith is to live not in ones self nor for ones self but in God and for God. 4. In occasions where you shall find your hart or sences ready to satisfy themselves in any curious booke humersome word or promptitude laet this word alone put a stop to them My God my all you alone suffice me I desire nothing but you Or else can I content my self ô my God in discontenting you ô love of my God reign only in me no more of creature nor of human satisfaction to a hart of which God is the master 5. At any time when you have any thing to suffer either by sicknesse or trouble of mind or by the disquiets or contradictions of men let this thought presently calme your mind You will have it so my God be it so content your self I am yours being a thousand times happy in suffering to please you and in dying for you Or else cast a simple reguard of confidence and resignation upon a crucifix or any Image of our Blessed Lady or towards the blessed Sacrement according to the place you shall be in with this word IESVS dyes in paynes for me and would I suffer nothing for him There can be no love without sufferance or no sufferance without love 6. Leave your self thus in the hands of God to be crucifyd by a continuall and intire abandoning your self amidst all the contradictions and aridities from within this is the way devine truth takes to make a victime of you he will annihilat by litle and litle in you all that is of you 7. Follow your affaires with a great liberty of mind with a calme and continual equallity of hart Employ not your self in them for any other reason but because God would have you do so and when he would have you do so God is content and this is the word with which you are to support your self in them Simple reflections of faith upon a Crucifix 1. WHat do you suffer my IESVS and how litle am I moved with your sufferings What paines What injuries and what blood do you shed for an ungratfull creature 2. You dye my IESVS you dye of griefe for me and can I live to my self or live without suffering for you Can I live without a Cross ô what lost moments are these in which I suffer not for you ô let me suffer or dye 3. O wounds ô nailes ô thornes ô torments ô Cross what pain do you give to my IESVS ô my Saviour what confusion ought I to have seeing you suffer thus much Yet what griefe ought I not to have that I am the cause of your sufferings 4. Behold my soul the worke of thy infidelityes and the love of a God cease then to satisfye thy self to content thy dying JESVS Advices 1. EVERY night cast some one of these simple reguards upon your crucifix after your examen for a short space one alone suffices each time and even one word of each 2. Make vse of these aspirations in prayer and when you are at Masse being troubled or opprest to support your self 3. Read them often in the day time especially the last and the other before Masse and prayer Aspirations to be made at all times to recollect ones self in God. FOR RISING 1. MY God and my all 2. All to you my God all in you all by you FOR PRAYER 1. Content your self my God. 2. My God my all 3. You my God are all and I am nothing 4. You my God behold me and will have me be as I am therfore I desire to be so 5. I come not hither to content my self but to content God. 6. O the good will and pleasure of my God I Sacrifice my self intirely to you For the employments and exteriour occupations of the day 1. GOd is content this is my joy and my sole happinesse 2. O my God would I content my self and displease you 3. All to you my God all for you all in you 4. God alone suffices me all else is nothing to me 5. The more we dye to our selves the more me shall live in God. 6. Let us go my soule let us go and loose our selves in God let us cease to be to the end that God may be all in us 7. What do I desire in heaven or on earth but you ô the God of my hart my Portion for Eternity An Elevation to the Sacred harts of JESVS and MARY to obtaine the love of God. O Inflamed harts living with love ô Sanctuaries of the divinity temples of the Sovereign Majesty Altars of Divine Charity harts that burn with love for God and me I honour you I love you and I melt with love and respect in your presence I unite my self to your holy dispositions I will yes I will burn with your fire and live with your life what joy have I to se you happy and content what part do I take in your graces in your sorrowes and in your glory with how good a hart would I dye and suffer all things rather then displease you O my hart we must act no longer but according to the inclinations of these sacred harts you ought to expire in silence in their presence to all that is human of naturall in you 2. O that I were able to engage all the harts of mankind to render homage to the hart of JESVS and MARY and to forme themselves according to their divine modelle ô harts full of grace purity fervour and humility inspire my hart with these sentiments I unite my self to you I loose my self in you I will live no more but by you and for you 3. Thus all the employment of my hart shall be from hence forward to remain in silence and respect annihilated in the presence of JESVS and MARY and there as a burning lampe that consumes it self before the Blessed Sacrament to burn to suffer and to dye Be it so The holy Mother of God hath lately promised to one of her Children that whoever shall say the following Prayer with devotion if they be in the grace of God she shall augment the divine love in their harts at each of these twelve salutations and benedictions which it containes and if they are in mortall sinn with her sweet and Virginall hand she will knock at the dore of their harts at each salutation to excite them to open unto grace and she added that when one should find any persons in great sinnes and hard to be converted that it would be good to excite them to say this prayer with a good will or at least to consent to have it sayd for them mervelous effects of it have lately been seen in severall persons 1.
