'Humble yourself before God; lose yourself in the very
depths of that sacred desert of which I have, spoken to you; be absorbed
by the Sovereign Good, consumed by the sacred fire of love. Believe me,
this divine fire will dissipate all the dust and mist of scruples, and
your soul will become purer and more beautiful in the eyes of your
heavenly Spouse. Keep yourself in a silence of faith and love, as a
victim offered to the glory of God, and courageously despise scruples.
The merciful visits with which your Saviour favors you are not liable to
illusion; they cause you to know how much He loves you, and that your
scruples are an artifice of the demon.'
