Fais de mon cœur un réceptacle de ton amour et de ton souvenir. Unis-le à ton très grand Océan, qu’il déverse les eaux vives de ta sagesse et les flots cristallins de ta gloire et de ta louange.

[…] to make my heart to be a receptacle of Thy love and of remembrance of Thee. Knit it, then, to Thy most great Ocean, that from it may flow out the living waters of Thy wisdom and the crystal streams of Thy glorification and praise.
