"Grace has its moments . Let us abandon ourselves to the
providence of God and be on our guard against anticipating it. If
our Lord is pleased to give me any consolation in our vocation it is
this : I think , it seems to me, that we have tried to follow divine
providence in all things and to put our feet only in the place it has
marked out for us " ( 16 March 1644, SV II, 453).
