                        Everything  unfolds  through  the  chain  of  time,  and
                        time is in the hands of God. (Letters 25)


            17
                        Let  us  thank  the  good  God  that  in  His  mercy  He
                        always sends us new means of salvation. (Letters 64)


            18
                        God watches over us with the most tender care.
                        (Writings 212)


        19
                    Let us bear evil with resignation and let us be satisfied
                    with the scanty measure of good that God allows us in


                    these wretched times. (Letters 72)
        20
                    Blessed be even the darkness if the hand of God sends
                    it. We will walk confidently in the dark with the thought
                    that  the  angels  are  guarding  us  to  keep  us  from
        stumbling. (Letters 272)

        21
                    We will move on by inches if we cannot run nor even
                    pace forward, but we will keep standing up. But when will


                    the light appear? That is Gods secret. (Letters 272)
        22
                    We can long for the light as we long for the dawn; yet,
                    like the dawn, we cannot hasten its arrival by one instant.
                    We must, however, keep a watchful eye toward the east,
        precisely toward the point where the morning light is wont to appear.
        May we never confuse it with the aurora borealis, which deceives the
        pilgrim. (Letters 272)

        23
                    We are unable to know the hidden depths of the plan of
                    Divine  Providence.  We  do  know,  however,  from
                    experience  that  faith  every  day  works  the  greatest
        miracles in souls. (Letters 19)
