Be guided by divine providence lovingly, just make you want to walk down to earth and deserts, which the waters of the sensitive and spiritual consolation. Please hand your perfume, but if you have some other delicious aroma, be sure to smell it, giving thanks, because the perfume is used to not stay for long without some comfort and spiritual joy.
Stand firm in any state in which Jesus wanted to get your heart be totally for it, because there is nothing better than that. Shed, then, based on continuous resignations, your earthly affections, all the things you have imprisoned, and be certain that the king of heaven will give their gifts to draw you to His holy love.
I see in your heart a deep resolve to serve God, and this guarantees that I will be faithful in the exercises of piety and the practice of leading to the acquisition of virtues. But I warn you one thing, that you certainly do not ignore it. When failures occur because of illness, we need not marvel why, but after the offense detest God receives them, it is necessary to find a joyful humility, to discover and realize our misery.
(January 12, 1917, Herminia Gargani - Letters. III, p. 669)
