Psalm 132:11, 13-14, 17-18

Matthew 13:16-17

She was full of faith, yet all her life had been tormented by thoughts against it. While apparently enjoying the peace and easiness of mind of souls who have reached a high state of virtue, she suffered such interior trials that she often told me her mind was so filled with all sorts of temptations and abominations that she had to strive not to look within herself...But for all that suffering her face never lost its serenity, nor did she once relax in the fidelity God asked of her.

-- St. Francis de Sales (speaking of St. Jane Frances de Chantal)
