VanEven if my soul knows nothing but aridity and shadows, with each one of my breaths I feel a gentleness all impregnated with love that overrides that which I feel in moments of fervour, when I say with an ardent heart, “Jesus, I love you.” And this, because I accept with love this dryness of soul.
Little Brother Marcel Văn CSsR (1928–1959)
