Father Viala, who was complaining about his assignment, was reminded of his action of total self-giving to God through his oblation.<\/h3>\n

So, my dear Father, be patient, do not ask for the impossible, have confidence in our good Father for whose sake we have sacrificed everything on this earth, even our life. Do not doubt that he will come to your aid, that he will give you back your health and your peace of soul, on condition that you live in holy indifference, a quality which assures the happiness of a good religious… For now, attend to regaining your health and continue doing the good work you have begun to do so well. Try to overcome the little dislikes and vexations that all of us meet in our lives; be worthy of yourself and your vocation and believe me, it costs me very much to contradict you, but I appeal to your heart and to your piety.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Farewell. I greet you very affectionately.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Letter to Fr. Jean Viala at Limoges, 21 June 1848, EO X n 979<\/em><\/h3>\n

REFLECTION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will.
\nWhatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all.
\nLet only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures \u2013 I wish no more than this, O Lord.
\nInto your hands I commend my soul: I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
\nfor I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands without reserve,
\nand with boundless confidence, for you are my Father. (Charles de Foucald)<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
