Why all this noise, all this movement, this vain and futile agitation; why this whirlwind carrying men away like a swarm of flies caught in a storm? How sad is the sight of all that wasted energy, all those useless efforts! When will they stop dancing like puppets on a string, pulled they know not by whom or what? When will they find time to sit quietly and go within, to recollect themselves and open that inner door which screens from them Thy priceless treasures, Thy infinite boons?
How sorrowful and miserable seems to me their life of ignorance and obscurity, their life of mad agitation and unprofitable dispersion!when one single spark of Thy sublime light, one single drop of Thy divine love, can transform this suffering into an ocean of delight!
O Lord, my prayer soars towards Thee: May they know at last Thy peace and that calm and irresistible strength which comes of an immutable serenitythe privilege of those whose eyes have been opened and who are able to contemplate Thee in the flaming core of their being.
But the hour of Thy manifestation is come.
And soon hymns of gladness will burst forth on every side.
Before the solemnity of this hour I bow down in devotion.
