The knowledge adds to my love for her and for all the dear ones in my Father's Home.

Excerpt

On waking, I realised that Heaven does indeed exist, and that this Heaven is peopled with souls who cherish me as their child, and this impression still remains with me--all the sweeter, because, up to that time, I had but little devotion to the Venerable Mother Anne of Jesus. I had never sought her help, and but rarely heard her name. And now I know and understand how constantly I was in her thoughts, and the knowledge adds to my love for her and for all the dear ones in my Father's Home.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, a dream in which the Venerable Mother Anne of Jesus, a sixteenth-century Carmelite, showered her with tenderness made her feel that Heaven is peopled with souls who love us as their children. Today, think of someone who has passed away and who loved you, thank God for them, and let this bond of love soften your day.
