For after chastisement from God, and recognizing him, our way to repay him is to exalt him and confess his wonders before every nation under heaven.

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

Christ before me, Christ behind me,Christ in me.

Let anyone laugh and taunt if he so wishes. I am not keeping silent, nor am I hiding the signs and wonders that were shown to me by the Lord many years before they happened, who knew everything, even before the beginning of time.

I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain.

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.
