When
I go to the Chapel, I place myself before the good God and I say to
Him: ‘Lord, here I am, give me what You will.’ If He gives me
something, I am very pleased, and I thank Him. If He gives me
nothing, I still thank Him because I do not deserve anything. And
then again, I tell Him all that passes through my mind; I recount my
pains and my joys and … I listen. If you listen to Him, He will
speak to you also, because with the good God it is necessary to speak
and to listen. He will always speak to you if you go to Him simply
and sincerely.
