Dear Daughters of St. Philip Neri, God has begun a work in us that is beautiful - as Elisabeth Leseur tells us an interior evolution. God has begun to unfold the mystery of His life and love within our hearts - a transformation that will be brought to completion when we let go of the last bond that constrains that love or fears it. There is nothing and no one who can accomplish this work but God Himself: ours is but to have a willing heart. It is a work that is carried out in hiddenness. The deepest desire and tenderness within us must be retained for God. This hiddenness, however, does not diminish its beauty or limit its effect on those we hold dear in this world. It only grows in its perfection; and as Elisabeth reminds us nothing is lost, not one grief or tear.
