“Believe me, I love you deeply, although the sorrow I am about to cause you may lead you to doubt my affection. The religion to which you are so sincerely attached will dry your tears and fill your heart with joy. How is it possible that you are inconsolable because one of your children is giving himself to God's service and putting into practice the lessons you have taught? ... It would have been my greatest happiness to spend this short life with you, but God calls me and I must obey. Every day we say to God, 'Thy will be done on earth' - well - today our hearts must echo these words which our lips pronounce. May the submission of our will to God's designs render us capable of every sacrifice!" - Fr. Pierre-Jean De Smet, a letter to his father”
