If I should say anything that is not in conformity with what is held by the Holy Roman Catholic Church, it will be through ignorance and not through malice. This may be taken as certain, and also that, through God's goodness, I am, and shall always be, as I always have been, subject to her.

Humility must always be doing its work like a bee making honey in the hive: without humility all will be lost.

As to the aridity you are suffering from, it seems to me our Lord is treating you like someone He considers strong: He wants to test you and see if you love Him as much at times of aridity as when He sends you consolations. I think this is a very great favor for God to show you.

God never changes; Patient endurance Attains to all things; Who God possesses In nothing is wanting; Alone God suffices.

I would never want any prayer that would not make the virtues grow within me.
