It is not the consolations we seek but the Consoler, not their sweetness but the sweet Saviour, not their tenderness but him who is the delight of heaven and earth. In this spirit we must resolve to stand fast in a holy love of God even though we may never find any consolation throughout our whole life.
Saint Francis de Sales
