So lovely, thank you! This reminds me of a dear jewel of a phrase that the Carmelite Mother Geneviève of St. Teresa of Avila said to one of her novices: 

“My child, if you want to live very united to Our Lord and always in peace, have neither desire nor fear."

Mother Geneviève was the foundress of the Carmel of Lisieux, the Carmel of the Little Flower, St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus.
