way in arid paths where the waters of grace soon fail her.

During her illness the Infirmarian
had recommended Sœur Thérèse to take
a little walk in the garden every day for
a quarter of an hour. For her, this
advice was a command. One afternoon,
a Sister seeing her walk with much
difficulty said to her: "You would do
far better to rest; in such circumstances
walking can do you no good, you exhaust
yourself, that is all."
"It is true," replied this child of Obedience, "but do you know what gives me strength?. . . Well! I walk for a Missionary. I think how some one of them far away, yonder, is perhaps exhausted in his apostolic journeyings, and to lessen his fatigue I offer mine to the good God."
