"To have confidence in providence means that we should hope that
God takes care of those who serve him, as a husband takes care of his
wife or a father of his child. That is how-and far more truly-God
takes care of us. We have only to abandon ourselves to his guidance,
as the Rule says, just as 'a little child does to its nurse.' If she
puts it on her right arm, the child is quite content; if she moves
him over to her left, he doesn't care, he is quite satisfied provided
he has her breast. We should, then, have the same confidence in
divine providence, seeing that it takes care of all that concerns
us, just as a nursing mother takes care of her baby" (SV X,
503).
