Happy Birthday! See how big you are. Courage! Jesus will soon pluck His
little flower, but
you must be patient and courageous and wait gently
for the passage of the divine Lamb. How I love you, my darling! Pray for your petit Pauline of former days. She must become a saint first since the choice fell on her first. |

… There is much change in her condition since the feast of the Assumption. And we have
even come to the desire of her deliverance, for she's suffering a martyrdom. She was
saying yesterday: “Fortunately, I didn't ask for suffering. If I had asked for it, I fear I wouldn't have the patience to bear it. Whereas, if it is coming directly from God's will, He cannot refuse to give me the patience and the grace necessary to bear it.” |
