Letter 324. To Sister Frangotse Gabrielle Bally

at Bourges.

My poor dearest Daughter,—I have just heard of your ailment. God loves you well to have given you this suffering. Enrich your heart with all the holy virtues for which a good illness gives plenty of opportunity. I pray God to strengthen you and make you after His own Heart, and may He give you such health as He judges best for you. With all my heart I remain yours. Do not forget me on the bed of your cross, where I love and reverence you. God be blessed.
