The ground of mercy is love, and the working of mercy is our keeping in love.

We give our intent to love and meekness, by the working of mercy and grace we are made all fair and clean.

Our falling is frightful our falling is shameful and our dying is sorrowful but still in all this, the sweet eye of pity and of love never departs from us, and the working of mercy ceases not.

When we, by the working of mercy and grace, be made meek and mild, we are fully safe; suddenly is the soul oned to God when it is truly peaced in itself: for in Him is found no wrath.
