From Mother Marie de Gonzague to Thérèse. December 6-10, 1888
I do not want the child of my tenderness to indulge in such great sadness. - I don't know anything about getting the habit... Monsignor seems to say that he cannot come before January, let's wait; I will write to the Lamb to tell you what I have known; Before getting upset, you have to wait. On Thursday we will see if His Majesty has not entrusted Mr. Révérony with some messages for us. The dream is only a dream and our Holy Mother does not want us to pay attention to it... No, Jesus does not cry, He smiles at his fiancée. But my darling child must not worry about things here below and his soul must prepare without any worry for the great grace granted to him by the Divine Child of the nursery!!! The good pleasure of God is my will, my desire!.... write to our exiled saint....
I carry you in my heart which blesses you very much, dear child!!!
