Psalms 20
Psalm 20:3
This text was quoted by Henri Perreyve in the letter he wrote to his friend Charles Perraud from Hyres on18 December, 1857. Henri Perreyve was at that time a deacon, looking forward to priest's orders. Charles Perraud had just been ordained to the priesthood. The motto of the letter, repeated for each paragraph, is "the sacramental greeting of the deacon," "The Lord be with you". "May He be with you in your griefs to comfort you! With you in your joys to sanctify them! With you in your longings to make them fruitful. Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat."
