we
should
not
continue,
but
remain
thus
so
long
as
the
condition
may
last;
after
which
we
proceed
to
the
second
petition,
"Thy
will
be
done
on
earth,
as
it
is
in
heaven."
We
then
desire
that
God
may
accomplish,
in
us
and
by
us,
all
His
will
;
we
give
up
to
God
our
heart
and
our
liberty,
that
He
may
dispose
of
them
at
His
pleasure.
Then,
seeing
that
the
occupation
of
the
will
should
be
love,
we
desire
to
love,
and
we
ask
God
to
give
us
His
love.
But
all
this
is
done
quietly,
peace-fully
;
and
so
on
with
the
rest
of
the
prayer.
At
other
times
we
hold
ourselves
in
the
position
of
sheep
near
to
the
Shepherd,
asking
of
Him
our
•
true
food.
O
Divine
Shepherd
!
Thou
feedest
Thy
sheep
with
Thine
own
hand,
and
Thou
art
their
food
from
day
to
day.
We
may
also
bring
before
Him
our
family
desires
;
but
it
must
all
be
done
with
the
remembrance
by
faith
of
the
presence
of
God
within
us.
We
can
form
no
imagination
of
what
God
is
:
a
lively
faith
in
His
presence
is
sufficient;
for
we
can
conceive
no
image
of
God,
though
we
may
of
Christ,
regarding
Him
as
crucified,
or
as
a
child.
