GRATITUDE
Oh, how happy God makes me! How easy and how sweet it is to serve Him upon earth.
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. X
Seeing several of my companions
form special attachments to some one or
other of our mistresses, I wished to
follow their example but could not
succeed therein. O happy inability! from
how great evils has it saved me. . . . How
I thank God for having made me find
only bitterness in the friendships of
earth. With a heart such as mine I
should have been captured and had my
wings clipped; then how should I have
been able to fly away and be at rest.[1]
