signed to living without you. What transports can equal those which are felt in the heart of a mother, when receiving the caresses of a tenderly affectionate daughter? Of this happiness I am now deprived! My Saviour, who wept from sympathy when on earth, will have compassion, and will forgive my uneasiness. O my God, enable me to bear this bitter trial of separation from my child, with christian fortitude and submisssion! |
