should go to Lourdes; for if I should not be healed by Mary, I could at
least learn how to suffer as a Christian ought. God has chosen this
place--He only knows why, as He, too, alone chooses which man shall
suffer and which be glad--He has chosen this place to show His power;
and therefore has sent His Mother there, that we may look through her to
Him.

Is this, then, all subjectivity and romantic dreaming? Well, but there
are the miracles!
