[from St. Elizabeth of the Trinity]

"Make a little cell in your heart for Jesus of the Agony. Take refuge there, when you hear Him outraged by men. Try to make reparation. You, at least, love Him and keep your heart quite pure for Him. Oh, if you only knew how the good God loves pure hearts! It is there that He loves to reign."

Hi, John.

I read today is the feastday, for All Saints of Wales. I do not think you read it, because I read it out of same book as 2-days ago, about All Saints of Ireland. It is a Benedictine book. Just want to share with you, in case their is any truth for the Saint list.

Moderator,

If you ever get a chance, would you put a comma after the words, ills, parents,people in my previous post. It would make it easier to understand.

Thanks,
