'Suave mari magno turbantibus aequora ventis E terra magnum alterius spectare laborem . . . Protestants, who look at creeds as things to be changed like coats, whenever they seem not to fit them, little know what we Catholic-hearted ones suffer. . . . If they did, they would be more merciful and more chary in the requirements of us, just as we are in the very throe of a new-born existence.
"Quemvis perferre laborem Suadet, et inducit noctes vigilare serenas." To this end I have some time since, with a world of pains and art, dissected the carcass of human nature, and read many useful lectures upon the several parts, both containing and contained, till at last it smelt so strong I could preserve it no longer.
In fine, my bodily qualities are very well suited to those of my soul; there is nothing sprightly, only a full and firm vigour: I am patient enough of labour and pains, but it is only when I go voluntary to work, and only so long as my own desire prompts me to it: "Molliter austerum studio fallente laborem."
I will go to Sicily: "Extremum hunc, Arethusa, mihi concede laborem." October 25, 1859. My resolve had been taken and my preparations made; it only remained for me to notify my housekeeper. I must acknowledge it was a long time before I could make up my mind to tell her I was going away. I feared her remonstrances, her railleries, her objurgations, her tears.
Don Gonzalo died three years after St. Psalm xciii. 20: "Qui fingis laborem in praecepto." The Foundation of the Monastery of St. Joseph. Persecution and Temptations. Great Interior Trial of the Saint, and Her Deliverance. Having now left that city, I travelled in great joy, resolved to suffer most willingly whatever our Lord might be pleased to lay upon me.
