Summary
Expressing her sympathy on receiving the news of his suffering; saying "Into God's Hands you will have 'commended your spirit', and may He give you His Peace, even in the midst of your agony, and that sense of His Loving Presence which will uphold you in the darkest hours. I pray for you with my whole heart; but always with the remembrance that God is so merciful that our human prayers are not needed to make Him bend in Love over you. What you are bearing so nobly now will be part of the discipline that is to lead you to the Feet of God - where there will be no more pain, no more partings - but only blessed, blessed Peace."
