prayer, for in Heaven my desire will be the same as upon earth; to love Jesus and to make Him loved.
III LETTER TO HER MISSIONARY "BROTHERS"
She was looking at the sky one day
when some one remarked to her:
"Very soon you will dwell beyond the blue sky; with what love you contemplate it!"
She merely smiled, but afterwards said to the Mother Prioress:
"Mother, our Sisters little know what I suffer! Looking at the blue sky I was thinking only of the beauty of the material heavens; the other is more and more closed to me. . . . I was at first distressed by that remark, then an interior voice answered: 'Yes, through love thou didst look at the heavens. Since thy soul is wholly consecrated to Love, all thy actions, even the most indifferent, bear the impress of this divine seal.' I was instantly consoled."
