TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH OF MONSEIGNEUR DE LA BOUILLERIE, Archbishop of Perga, Coadjutor of Bordeaux.
O Christian soul, imitate the Queen of Heaven! May the Lord be always with you ! It is in the Eucharist that He will be present with you. Receive Him, and all the virtues will follow Him, and He will shed upon you His most perfect gifts. I advise you often to meditate on these sweet words of the kingly prophet, " How lovely are thy tabernacles, 0 Lord of Hosts." (Psalm lxxxiii. 2.)
In them the whole of this conversation is comprised. The Lord of the virtues is also the God of the tabernacles. Love the tabernacles, and the Lord Who inhabits them will dispense to you the treasure which He always keeps there in reserve—the treasure of the Christian virtues.
