How can we thankful? We can only love the Heart of Jesus more generously and by our union with Him, become the most humble.

Really, it is the Lord who carries the cross, for He knows how to make the soul content with little or no consolation and always to find strength in the words..."Thy will be done."

We may not understand His Will for us in time, but in eternity the veil will be drawn and we shall see that He acted only for our happiness.

We are entirely in the care of Divine Providence, and it is very sweet to remain so in peace. The Cross is never lacking; may it be our consolation.

If you have no earthly consolation, why do you not seek consolation in the Heart of Jesus? To love him is truest joy.

All desire but that of doing God's holy will has been extinguished in me.

I live now in solitude and am able to use my time reflecting on the past and preparing for death. I cannot put away the thought of the Indians and in my ambition I fly to the Rockies.
