" We never have too much confidence in the good God who is so powerful and so merciful."

"...it was for Pranzini, the great
criminal. I didn’t even want to tell Céline, but she asked
me such tender and pressing questions, I confided my
secret to her. Far from laughing at me, she asked if she
could help convert my sinner. I accepted gratefully, for I
would have wished all creatures would unite with me to
beg grace for the guilty man.
I felt in the depths of my heart certain that my desires would be granted, but to obtain courage to pray for sinners I told God I was sure He would pardon the poor, unfortunate Pranzini; that I’d believe this even if he went to his death without any signs of repentance or without having gone to confession. I was absolutely
confident in the mercy of Jesus. But I was begging Him for a “sign” of repentance only for my own simple consolation.
My prayer was answered to the letter!
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus.
