Thanks be to Thee, O good Jesus, our eternal shepherd; who hast vouchsafed to feed us, poor exiles, with Thy precious Body and Blood, and to invite us to the receiving of these mysteries with the words of Thy own mouth, saying: Come unto me, all you that labour and are burdened, and I will refresh you (Matt. xi, 28).
-Bk. IV, ch. i.
Out of Me, both little and great, rich and poor, as out of a living fountain, draw living water; and they who freely and willingly serve Me shall receive grace for grace.
-Bk. III, ch. ix.

All ye who bear a burden
Come unto Me, Who know
A place of quiet refreshment,
Where living waters flow! . . .
O Heart, the well-spring of all love,
Within Thy depths I hide,
And drink the living waters
That flow down from Thy side!
-Poems.
