"For many years Providence has been leading us, as well as the Canadian Church, upon difficult and crucifying pathways, both in the spiritual and in the temporal realms. This does not matter to us, as long as His holy will be done: it appears to me that it constitutes all my peace and all my happiness in this life, in which I find no other paradise. It is the kingdom of God within the soul that makes up our core, our life, our all. Pray well to the Lord, that He may grant me the grace never to want anything but the accomplishment of His divine and lovable will, 'in honor and in dishonor'." - Bl. Bishop de Laval
