O my God, I thank you and I praiseyou for accomplishing your holyand all-lovable will without any regard for mine.With my whole heart,in spite of my heart,do I receive this cross I feared so much!It is the cross of Your choice,the cross of Your love.I venerate it;nor for anything in the worldwould I wish that it had not come,since You willed it.I keep it with gratitude and with joy,as I do everything that comes from Your hand;and I shall strive to carry it without letting it drag,with all the respectand all the affection which Your works deserve.Amen.
