Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God.

Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.

I pray to God to give me perseverance and to deign that I be a faithful witness to Him to the end of my life for my God.

I am certain in my heart that all that I am, I have received from God.

So I live among barbarous tribes, a stranger and exile for the love of God.
