I had a few days ago, an insight
which consoled me very much.
It was during my thanksgiving, when I make a few reflections upon the goodness of God, and how should one not think of this at such a time, of that infinite goodness, uncreated goodness, the source of all goodness. ... I saw written as in letters of gold this word "Goodness" which I repeated for a long time with indescribable sweetness. I beheld it, I say, written upon all creatures, animate and inanimate, rational or not, all bore this name goodness. ... I understood then that all these creatures have of goodness and all the services and assistance that we receive from each of them is a benefit which we owe to the goodness of God who has communicated to them something of his infinite goodness so that we may meet it in everything and everywhere. st. thérèse couderc - 1865
