If thou canst not contemplate high and heavenly things; rest in the passion of Christ; and dwell gladly in his sacred wounds. For if thou fly devoutly to the wounds, and precious marks of Jesus; thou shalt feel great comfort in tribulation; thou wilt not much care for the slights of men; and wilt easily bear words of detraction.
