Dear sister,
I read your pages filled with love for Jesus… (…) Should I tell you? Well then: you are obsessed with the Lord God, but obsessed in the sense of… absolutely, like wicked people are obsessed with evil. I would also like to be obsessed with the good Jesus.
(Marie of the Most Sacred Heart /1860–1940/,
the eldest sister and also the godmother of Terezka;
excerpt from a letter responding to manuscript B, September 1896)
