Now, despite all the trials – with Your grace, to which nothing compares – I am happy and filled with love for You. You take the turns sharply, brake without warning, but you drive remarkably well. With unfailing certainty, you have led me exactly to where my deepest desires were directed; not to sensual pleasure or spiritual comfort, but to love for You, which arises from truth and never ceases.
(Father Jerome /1907–1985/, monk of the Trappist monastery in Sept-Fons, Possibilities and Melodies)
