May 25: Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat

If I could only make you realize the happiness of a soul who gives herself to the Holy Spirit wholly and without reserve! She is no longer the one who acts; it is God himself. She moves only to follow his inspirations. Everything becomes easy for her: the Holy Spirit has taken possession of her. If the happiness of an individual is so great, how much greater that of a Society that allows itself to be wholly guided by the Spirit and gives itself to him without reserve. It would be heavenly! What peace, what union and, at the same time, how much good would be accomplished.
