See that I am God. See that I am in everything. See that I do everything. See that I have never stopped ordering my works, nor ever shall, eternally. See that I lead everything on to the conclusion I ordained for it before time began, by the same power, wisdom and love with which I made it. How can anything be amiss?
Until I am essentially united with God, I can never have full rest or real happiness.

All will be well, and every kind of thing will be well.

This is our Lord's will... that our prayer and our trust be, alike, large.
