VanA cloud of sadness floats in my heart, which has to support, without rest, this heavy load…! I am very sad, but I accept this sadness with joy, since it is precisely this sadness that is the joy of the little Beloved of my heart.

    Sometimes I get glimpses of what this means. It is so clearly the grace of God at work.
