thing ! But I thank you with all my heart for this fresh proof of your love. Well ! what answer am I to give you ? You would not like me to say 'No,' and I should like it still less. How can I advise you to remain in a world which I detest as you do, and which I have left myself ? I know well that for a long time you have entirely detached yourself from its pleasures and its frivolities ; but the last act, the act of entire renunciation, you have not yet signed, and that is all that is left for... you to do. What is there, then, to stop you? Consult your courage, consult the voice of grace, consult those with w x hom you live, and if no obstacle pre- sent itself, may your holy desires be fulfilled. May God's will be done ; celebrate your nuptials, give Him your heart and your life, clothe yourself with the nuptial robe, place His ring on your finger, take a new name, enter into a new family. I wish you joy, sister Mary, virgin spouse of Jesus Christ ! May the day come when I shall see my much- loved sister in the choir of virgins, of which Mary Immaculate is the Queen, and when you shall count your brother in the ranks of apostles, and perhaps martyrs — who knows ?
