the songs of the Lord in a strange land?[1]
V LETTER TO HER SISTER CÉLINE
How I thirst for Heaven—that
blessed habitation where our love for
Jesus will have no limit! But to get
there we must suffer . . . we must weep. . . .
Well, I wish to suffer all that shall
please my Beloved, I wish to let Him do
just as He wills with His "little ball."
V LETTER TO SR. MARIE DU SACRÉ-CŒUR
Oh! What mysteries will be revealed
to us later. . . . How often have I thought
that I perhaps owe all the graces showered
upon me to the earnest prayer of a little
soul whom I shall know only in Heaven.
It is God's will that in this world by
means of prayer Heavenly treasures
should be imparted by souls one to
another, so that when they reach the
Fatherland they may love one another
with a love born of gratitude, with an
affection far, far exceeding the most ideal
family affection upon earth.
