are awake; that in order to perform operations, doctors put their patients to sleep; in fine, that the Lord knoweth our frame, He remembereth that we are but dust.[1]
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. VIII
I have no fear of the last combats,
nor of the physical suffering how great
soever it may be. The good God has
always come to my assistance, He has
helped me and led me by the hand from
my earliest years. . . . I count on Him
. . . my sufferings may reach their furthest
limits, but I am sure that He will never
abandon me.
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. XII
It is confidence, and confidence alone,
that must lead us to Love. . . . Does not
fear lead us rather to think of the rigid
justice by which sinners are warned?
But that is not the justice that Jesus
will show to those who love Him.
