III. Merit
After earth’s exile, I hope to go and enjoy you
in the fatherland, but I do not want to lay up merits for heaven. I want to
work for your love alone…. In the evening of this life, I shall appear before
you with empty hands, for I do not ask you, Lord, to count my works. All our
justice is blemished in your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in your own
justice and to receive from your love the eternal possession of
yourself.63
