Write in  it  thy  love, that I may  be  united  to  thee by an  unconquerable  love, through which  I may  never, for all  eternity,  be  separated from thee  and  from  all  thy Elect.

Finally, make  me  partaker of all  the  blessings,  graces, merits, and  joys  of  all  thy Elect, who  have  ever  pleased
