[Jesus says,] Once these sweetnesses are gone, there will come a time when you will have to accept bitterness. If I tell you these things, you do not have to be saddened by them, do you? … In reality, I will never separate myself from you; my glance remains fixed on you… If, then, you do not feel any consolation, it is precisely because my love wants you to be in that state.
Little Brother Marcel Văn CSsR (1928–1959)
