Oftentimes, in a miraculous way, there shall appear before us a clear pathway through a field of turbulence.”

“Perhaps the Lord has called me and preserved me for this service not because I am particularly fit for it, or so that I can govern and rescue the Church from her present difficulties, but so that I can suffer something for the Church, and in that way it will be clear that he, and no other, is her guide and saviour”
