What sweetness of speech, what amiability and loftiness of sentiment, what dovelike simplicity, what sincerity, what meekness, what modesty, what retirement, what purity, what innocence, what elevation of mind and heart to God, what resignation, what conformity to the Divine pleasure, what piety, liberality, compassion, and mercy towards the miserable! What heroic virtue is there thou hast not seen and admired in her? And, especially, who can tell the love she bore thee, her constancy, assiduity, and attention to please thee, to help thee, to provide for thee, and to serve thee in all thy least necessities and wants?
(Month of Mary - 1858)
