Jesus may be in your soul. I thank you very much for writing to me, and it binds me much more than I have been so far. From the fact that things did not turn out as you wished, you should rather rejoice and greatly thank God, for when His Divine Majesty arranged it that way, it is the best for all of us; we only need to align our will with it, so that what is right appears to us as such.
(John of the Cross, letter to Mother Anne of Jesus, July 6, 1591)
