January: The Dark Night of the Soul

January 5

"You believe that one day you will walk out of this fog which surrounds you!… My smile is a great mantle, which covers a multitude of sufferings. The sisters and people think that my faith, my hope and my love are profoundly fulfilling me, and that intimacy with God and union with His will live in my heart. If they only knew... only blind faith moves me along, because the truth is that all is darkness for me."
~ St. Therese of Lisieux, Last Conversations
