There is no doubt about it, you must continue with your daily work, in the darkness of faith, not looking for specific results (it may seem that there are none), but setting your eyes on that Love, which opens its arms to you from the depths of heaven. On Friday was the feast of Saint John of the Cross. Do you know what he says about darkness: that it is better and safer than light. Accept it with this love and it will never crush you, no matter how painful it may be.
(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, correspondence)
