Si llego a pensar o decir algo [19vº] que le guste a mis hermanas, encuentro muy natural que se apoderen de ello como de un bien propio. Tal pensamiento pertenece al Espíritu Santo y no a mí, ya que san Pablo dice que sin este Espíritu de Amor no podemos llamar «Padre» a nuestro Padre que está en los cielos. Por lo tanto es muy libre de servirse de mí para ofrecer un buen pensamiento a un alma. Si creyera que este pensamiento me pertenece, sería como «el asno que llevaba las reliquias», el cual tomaba como dirigidos a él los homenajes tributados a los santos. No desprecio los pensamientos profundos que alimentan el alma y la unen a Dios, pero hace tiempo que he comprendido que no hay que apoyarse en ellos ni hacer consistir la perfección en recibir muchas luces. Los pensamientos más hermosos nada son sin las obras.

Now, like a flower after the storm, I can raise my head and see that the words of the Psalm are realized in me: “The Lord is my Shepherd and J shall want nothing. He has set me in a place of pasture. He has brought me up on the water of refreshment. He has converted my soul. He has led me on the paths of justice for His Own Name’s sake. For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils for Thou art with me.” (cf. Psalms 23).
