COUNSELS AND REMINISCENCES
“I have asked God to send me a beautiful dream to console me when you are gone,” said a novice.
“Ah! that is a thing I should never do—ask for consolation!... Since you wish to be like me you well know that I say:
Oh! fear not, Lord, that I shall waken Thee:
I await in peace th’ eternal shore....
“It is so sweet to serve the good God in the dark night of trial; we have this life only in which to live by faith.”
