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

---

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

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on 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.

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 imperfect in many things, nevertheless I want my brethren and kinsfolk to know my nature so that they may be able to perceive my soul's desire.

---

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.

---

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

No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God.
