Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let them that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face. (Ps 68:1)Does a stranger help my Master to carry His Cross and I, His child, the object of His tenderness, refuse to do so by endeavoring to escape the contradictions and disappointments with which life is strewn. Oh! How ungrateful am I. Pardon, my God, forget the past and turn Thy Face towards me. Hereafter, I will share Thy sorrows at least in accepting mine with a Christian spirit.
