But if thou removest this, be it great or small, thou shalt have thy desire.
2. For, as soon as ever thou hast delivered thyself to God with thy whole heart, and seekest not this or that for thine own pleasure or will, but fixest thyself wholly upon him, thou shalt find thyself united and at peace.
For nothing will relish so well, and please thee so much, as what pleases the divine will.
Then shall he see, and be filled and wonder, and his heart shall be enlarged within him; because the hand of the Lord is with him, and he hath put himself wholly into his hands for ever.
Behold, so shall the man be blessed that seeketh God with his whole heart, and busieth not his soul in vain.
This man obtaineth a high degree of divine union, in receiving the holy eucharist.
Because he respecteth not his own devotion and comfort; but above all devotion and comfort, the honour and glory of God.
