"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." Excerpted from Counsels and ReminiscencesOh little St. Therese, instill in our hearts a love of your little way. Help us to accept sufferings without consolation for love of you.
