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.

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.

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

Sufficient to say, greed is a deadly deed. You shall not covet your neighbor's goods.

---

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

Before I was humiliated I was like a stone that lies in deep mud, and he who is mighty came and in his compassion raised me up and exalted me very high and placed me on the top of the wall.
