Souls—dear Lord, we must have souls! Above all, souls of apostles and of martyrs, that through them we may inflame the multitude of poor sinners with love of Thee.
HIST. D'UNE AME, APPENDIX
After recreation one day when the
Mother Prioress had spoken of the
persecution already raging against Religious

to a novice: "Ah! Sister, we live in an
era of martyrs! Blood will be shed.—What
happiness if it should be ours!"

A novice on her way to the laundry
one day, went at a slow pace through
the garden, looking at the flowers as
she passed. Sœur Thérèse who followed
walking quickly, soon overtook her and
said: "Is that how one hastens who has
children (souls) to support, for whose
sustenance she is obliged to work?. . ."
