Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.

Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.

This Divine truth flows into heaven from the Lord from His Divine love.

I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.

After many years of great mercy, after tasting of the powers of the world to come, we still are so weak, so foolish; but, oh! when we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.

Numerous have been the manifestations of God's providence in sustaining us. In the gloomy period of adversity, we have had 'our cloud by day and pillar of fire by night.' We have been reduced to distress, and the arm of Omnipotence has raised us up.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.
