OUT OF DUE TIME.
379

I went to Santa Sabina and at once I felt at home. I am writing now in view of that orange tree seven hundred years old which put forth a new and vigorous shoot in the year that Lacordaire came into those cloisters. "Thy youth shall be renewed as the eagle's."

And now, should there be any living whom I have knowingly or unknowingly injured in the past, I humbly beg their prayers that the offering of the few years that remain to me, in reparation of that wrong, may win for them all blessings in this life and in the next.

If He but guide us, we shall want for nothing in the place of pasture where he has put us, until He bring us to meet together in the happy pastures of eternal life.
