THE ESPOUSAL OF OUR LADY
3. Practical Conclusion.
Strengthen your trust in God. Ask pardon for your hesitation, timidity. Never doubt that although you do not see the aim of the trials and tribulations sent you by the Lord, nevertheless it is all for the best. Do not insist that every detail of the divine plan in your regard should be made known to you. Allow yourself to be led even when you think everything is just the contrary of what it ought to be. See how St. Joseph becomes more virginal the closer he approaches Mary. And do not forget that to look at Mary, to approach Her, to be united with Her, will be also for you a source of purity, an increase of chastity, an increase of your love for virginity.
