O good Creator! How well you created me! How gloriously you fashioned me! How blessed a place you appointed for my dwelling! You created me, Lord, for the good works you had prepared for me to walk in, as the Apostle says. You fashioned me in your own image and likeness, and set me in the paradise of your delight, that I might till it and guard it. You who have made us, bring us to perfection; perfect in us the image and likeness of yourself for which you made us.William of Saint Thierry
