“We must leave things to God because He loves us more tenderly than a father loves his child (…) And then, in so far as we put our trust in God, He will take care of us. (…)

Be ready to do all that He wants you to do. But make no claims to being in this particular house, or in this parish, or out in the fields, and don't be afraid to go wherever you are sent. Be persuaded of this: God will look after you wherever you are.” [pp. 73-74]
