GLORIES OF MARY. 79
tell me to whom I must have recourse for succoi
in my deep distress. With St. Anselra, 1 will say
to thee, and to thy Son : Have pity on me, oh thou,
my Redeemer, and pardon me, thou my mother,
and recommend me to pardon; or teach me to
whom I
may have recourse, who is more com
passionate than you, and in whom I
may have
more confidence. No, neither in heaven nor on
earth can I find one who has more compassion
for the miserable, or who can aid me more than
you. Thou, oh Jesus, art my father, and thou,
oh Mary, art my mother. You love those who
are the most wretched, and you seek to save
them. I am worthy of hell, and of all beings
the most miserable; you need not to seek me,
neither do I ask you to seek me; I present my
self to you with a sure hope that I shall not be
abandoned by you. Behold me at your feet;
my Jesus, pardon me; my Mary, help me.
