The
value of our whole life depends on the motive by which we act.
Now it is certain that the highest motive is
that of love.
Once the soul has given herself out
of love,
nothing stays her, neither sufferings, nor difficulties,
nor all that
troubles us,
for “where there is love, labor is absent” (St Augustine ).
Try then to give yourself to Christ in this
way without reserve,
for good and out of love.
Then all will go well.
Your life
will be extremely pleasing to God and very meritorious.
