You is prayen for me, I no, bekose dat pane I had in my bak and my nee, is done gone.
God bless you, dis is from you' own old
Hetty.
August 8th.
Soul of My Heart: Your conduct yesterday showed wonderful improvement.
I noticed your patience on two occasions, then your willingness to go without the candy although I could see you wanted it.
All this shows you are learning the Catholic spirit of mortification, or, as you will better understand it; giving up what is most pleasing to us, and bearing with little privations. You are now I hope doing all this with good will, as a preparation for your First Holy Communion.
Our Lord will notice each act of self-abnegation made for His sake.
