Who art thou that art come to heal my wounds? I am an apostle of Christ; doubt not concerning me, my daughter. Medicine for the body have I never used; but I have the Lord Jesus Christ, who, with his word alone, restoreth all things. I render thanks to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for that thou hast been mindful of me, and hast sent thine apostle to me to heal my wounds. I bless thee, O Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, because through thine apostle thou hast restored my breast to me. Him who hath vouchsafed to heal me of every wound, and to restore to me my breast, him do I invoke, even the living God. 5th Ps. I. Vesp. Laudate Dominum, p. 20. II. Vesp. Lauda Jerusalem, p. 19. L.
