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

If I be worthy, I live for my God to teach the heathen, even though they may despise me.

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

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

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

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.

He [God] watched over me before I knew him, and before I learned sense or even distinguished between good and evil, and he protected me, and consoled me as a father would his son.
