Margaret Mary AlacoqueCling to God, and leave all the rest to Him: He will not let you perish. Your soul is very dear to Him, He wishes to save it.

Therefore you must lovingly embrace all occasions of suffering, considering them as precious tokens of His love. To suffer in silence and without complaint is what He asks of you.
