It seems to me that they are equally pleasing to Him.
All the well-beloved of God have followed the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by whom the Prophet wrote: "Say to the just that all is well."[1] Yes, all is well when we seek only the Divine Will.
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. IX
How narrow are the thoughts of
creatures! When they see that a soul
has lights which surpass their own, they
conclude that the Divine Master loves
them less. Since when, then, has He
lost the right to make use of one of His
creatures, in order to dispense to His
children the sustenance needful for them?
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. X
When we are grieved at our powerlessness
to do good, our only resource is
to offer to God the works of others.
In this you see the benefit of the communion
of Saints.
