Blessed Elzear, count of Arian in Provence, having been long absent from his devout and chaste Delphina, she sent a man to him expressly to inquire after his health, and he made answer: “I am very well, my dear wife; but if you desire to see me, seek me in the wound of the side of our sweet Jesus, for there I dwell, and there you will find me; elsewhere you will seek me in vain.” He was indeed a Christian knight.

"O how beautiful is the chaste generation with glory: for the memory thereof is immortal: because it is known both with God and with men."

Keep yourself always close to Jesus Christ crucified, both spiritually by meditation, and really by Holy Communion; for just as those who take their rest upon the herb called agnus castus become chaste and modest, so you also, resting your heart upon our Lord who is the true Lamb chaste and immaculate, will soon find your soul purified from all defilements and impurities.
