An equitable judge will deem that I have said enough,
not if he considers the riches of creation, but if he thinks of our
weakness and of the measure one ought to keep in that which tends to
pleasure. Earth has welcomed you with its own plants, water with
its fish, air with its birds; the continent in its turn is ready to
offer you as rich treasures. But let us put an end to this
morning banquet, for fear satiety may blunt your taste for the evening
one. May He who has filled all with the works of His creation and
has left everywhere visible memorials of His wonders, fill your hearts
with all spiritual joys in Jesus Christ, our Lord, to whom belong glory
and power, world without end. Amen.
