God's tender love and concern that touched her each time anew, had mellowed her iron will, not lessening her determination but enriching it with tenderness. She was childlike in her love and in her live.

(Fr Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, Come Be My Light, pp 279-280)

I am not alone.--I have His darkness--I have His pain--I have the terrible longing for God--to love and not to be loved. I know I have Jesus--in that unbroken union--for my mind is fixed on Him and in Him alone, in my will.

(Blessed Mother Teresa, Come Be My Light, p 223)
