Like the Prophets and the Doctors I I would fain enlighten souls. Fain would I travel the earth, O my Well-Beloved, to preach Thy Name and to set up Thy glorious Cross in Pagan lands. But one mission only would not suffice for me; would that I could at one and the same time proclaim the Gospel all the world over, even to the remotest of its islands. I would desire to be a Missionary not only for a few years, but to have been one from the creation of the world, and so to continue to the end of time.
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. XI
I long to accomplish the most heroic
deeds. I feel within me the courage of a
Crusader. I would die on the battlefield
in defence of the Church.
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. XI
Open, my Jesus, thy Book of Life
wherein are recorded the actions of all
the Saints; those actions—would that
I too, had accomplished such for Thee!
