A Vision of Goodness

From a letter of Saint Therese Couderc, co-founder of the Cenacle Sisters:A few days ago, I saw somethingthat consoled me very much.It was during my thanksgiving,when I was making a few reflectionson the goodness of God ...infinite goodness, uncreated goodness, source of all goodness! ...I was extremely touched by these reflections,when I saw written as in letters of gold this word "Goodness,"which I repeated for a long while with an indescribable sweetness.I saw it, I say,written on all creatures,animate and inanimate,rational or not �all bore this name of goodness.I saw it even on the chairwhich I was using for a kneeler.I understood then that all that these creatures have of goodand all the services and help that we receive from each of themare a kindness that we oweto the goodness of our God,who has communicated to themsomething of his infinite goodness,so that we may meet itin everything and everywhere.Written August 10, 1866
