A sister said to her:
“If anyone goes straight to Heaven, you surely will not spend one moment in Purgatory!”
“Oh! I feel little anxiety about that; I shall always be content with the sentence of the good God. If I go to Purgatory, well—I shall walk in the midst of the flames, like the three Hebrews in the furnace, singing the Canticle of Love.”
