I assure you that God is much better than you believe.

If a little flower could talk, it seems to me it would say what God had done for it quite simply and without concealment.

Since the age of three I have refused God nothing.

My gaiety all went after Mother died. I had been so lively and open; now I became diffident and oversensitive, crying if anyone looked at me.

I am not dying; I am entering life.

If you should find me dead one morning, don't worry. It's just that papa le bon Dieu has come to fetch me. Without doubt it is a great grace to receive the Sacraments, but when God does not permit it, that is fine just the same. All is Grace.
