Renew the concern of your heart

December 3
St. Augustine said it well: "May our heart is restless until it rests on the object of his love."
But you know very well that perfect love is reached when you own the object of this love, but the object of this love only possess when, not through veils, but face to face, as St. Paul says, the soul see how it is, when you know how we know ourselves, and this can not be achieved but when opening the doors of our prison.
From this you can deduce the great suffering which should mean the soul that God has found some of its treasures in heaven, be still on the road, in the land of exile.
(April 4, 1915, to Raffaelina Cerase - Letters. II, p. 403)
