with the scanty measure of good that God allows us in
these wretched times. (Letters 72)

pace forward, but we will keep standing up. But when will

like the dawn, we cannot hasten its arrival by one instant.

pilgrim. (Letters 272)

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)
