Upon Receiving Divine Consolations

When the servant of God receives divine consolations in prayer, he should say, "O Lord, thou hast sent this consolation to me, who am a sinner, and most unworthy, and I confide it to thy keeping, for I feel I am one who robs thee of thy treasure." And when he returns from prayer, he should think himself as poor and sinful as if he had received no such grace.

St. Francis
