compiled by Fr. Mathew for the use of the
sisters of Sacred Heart congregation and the
letters to the Bishops, sisters and friends
he reveals his profound faith in the divine
providence and his unconditional surrender
to the will of God manifested mainly through
the will of superiors and the circumstances

his main advice to the sisters and others
is 'submit gladly to the will of God'. |
