He wishes for only one thing: that the heart does not harden.

What does it matter that our poor hearts go through tumultuous moments! What is important is that we should never let ourselves be intimidated by these moments, into which we may be thrown by surprise. This means having trust in that so kind, so gentle Savior's mercy. After all, He created our hearts, and do you think it will amaze Him to find out how weak they are? He wishes for only one thing, that those hearts do not become hardened.

(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, correspondence)
