“Car en elle sont donnés les grades et les honneurs à ceux qui l’aiment, et il n’y a pas de pauvreté dans le monde, sauf pour qui est privé de l’amour de Jésus-Christ. Quant à moi, je loue Dieu, le donateur de la sagesse et j’adore et exalte son Fils notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ et son Esprit vivant et saint. À ce triple mystère gloire… Amen.”
