I
do not know what He is preparing for me in the journey I begin
tomorrow. I know one thing only, if He is good and loves me
immensely, everything else: calm or storm, danger or safety, life or
death, are merely changeable and passing expressions of the beloved
immutable, eternal Love. Yes, my beloved brethren, we have another
country, another home, a kingdom where we must all meet, where there
will no longer be separations or departures, where past sorrows and
danger will merely serve to increase our consolation and glory.

Blessed Giovanni
Battista Mazzucconi,
writing before his last missionary journey
