DIO non vuole che tu senti sensibilmente il sentimento della fede, speranza e carità, né che tu ne godi, se non quanto basta per servirsene nelle occasioni. Ahimè!, quanto siamo felici di essere noi tenuti sì strettamente dal nostro celeste tutore ! non dobbiamo fare altro che ciò che facciamo, cipè di amare lsa divina provvidenza ed abbandonarci nelle sue braccia e nel suo seno. No, mio DIO , io non desidero maggior godimento della mia fede, della mia speranza, della mia carità, solo per poter dire sinceramente , quantunque senza gusto e senza sentimento, che dovrei piuttosto morire che abbandonare queste virtù (LdP, 71).
