Purify, rejoice, enlighten, and enliven my spirit, with all the powers thereof, that I may cleave unto thee with abundance of joy and triumph.
*O when will that blessed hour come, when I shall be filled with thy presence, and thou be unto me all in all!
As long as this is not granted me, I shall not have full joy.
Alas! the kingdom of my soul is not yet in peace.
4. But thou that rulest the raging of the sea, and stillest the waves thereof when they arise, arise and help me:
Scatter the people that delight in war, destroy them in thy might.
Display thy greatness, and let thy right hand be glorified; for there is no other hope nor refuge for me, but in thee, my Lord God.
CHAPTER XXVII.
Of a pure and entire resignation of ourselves, for the obtaining freedom of heart.
