“When shall it be that we shall taste the sweetness of the Divine Will in all that happens to us, considering in everything only His good pleasure, by whom it is certain that adversity is sent with as much love as prosperity, and as much for our good? When shall we cast ourselves undeservedly into the arms of our most loving Father in Heaven, leaving to Him the care of ourselves and of our affairs, and reserving only the desire of pleasing Him, and of serving Him well in all that we can?” (St. Jean De Chantel, 1572-1641)

What has Our Lady of Emmitsburg said on this great saint's feast day?

“Children, this world is in trouble; and I have given to you many circumstances, situations and warnings. I have cautioned you. I have identified to you many things that are to come in hope that you and your loved ones would pray and change. For many years I have, with the blessing of the Holy Trinity, been allowed to come here in this country to you; and I have been pushed aside….” (OLOE Private 08-18-09)
