Letter 104. To a Religious of the Visitation

I HAVE received all your packets, my dear child. Raise your heart to Heaven; remember that not one of those mortals who has there put on immortality reached it save through continual trials and afflictions. Amid all your troubles say constantly to yourself, “This is the way to Heaven; I see the haven; I know that no tempest can hinder my entrance therein.^' May God comfort and bless you a thousand times. I am, more entirely than I can say, yours, my dearest child, &C.
