These precious pearls are gathered to be stored in the treasuries of his mind by the merchant who is intimate with prayer. For truly he swims in the sea of life and cleanses himself in the mighty floods, to be purified and beautified so as to become a garment of purple for Christ the eternal king. This is the strenuous diver captivated with desire for the sea of his washing. Sweet it is to him to never come out of it. Blessed are you who circle in the waves of light and on the wings of the Holy Spirit and are enclosed in the all encompassing deep, whose limit is unsearchable.
