Good Father 1829
"You may be sure, dear friend, that the Good Mother is the soul of the two families, that her poor life is being held only by a thread. As for me who know everything from the very beginning, I tell you that she is the mainstay and the life of us all before God; it is she who is more Founder than Foundress and I know that she has never ceased being a victim for the whole family."
Good Mother"God never sends more crosses than we can bear, but He always sends enough to make us feel our weakness, and this state is terrible."
Good Father"Oh! How I pity you. But your courage will enable you to accept everything in union with the sacrifices made by our Good Master so as to unite us to His Father."
Good Mother"Have courage, patience; be kind, humble and gay without too much dissipation and, with God’s help, all will go well."
Good Father"Let us all be one in the charity of the Good Master which unites us. I leave you but I shall never forsake you."
Good Mother"We must redouble our patience, our courage, and our resignation. It is only in the crucible that gold is tried."
Good Father"Let us all be a little less unhappy! Even if I were under lock and key, I would sing the praises of God and I would glorify His divine mercy forever."
