From F. Christianus Mayer.

I.

O my God! above all things infinitely to be praised and loved, who art praised and adored with joy by the whole Court of Heaven, oh, that I too may now at length merit to Praise and glorify Thee worthily by this offering, how little soever it be of my prayer! Hitherto, alas! how im perfectly have I praised Thee and glorified Thee, nay, how often, by my many sins and negligences, have I offended Thee! From my heart I am sorry for them all for thy sake. Of thy infinite goodness
