Title: Quote for the Day: Flowers on the earth. . .
Post by: Shin on February 02, 2011, 01:05:34 PM
'A slight sabre-cut will separate my head from my body, like the spring flower which the Master of the garden gathers for His pleasure. We are all flowers planted on this earth, which God plucks in His own good time: some a little sooner, some a little later. Father and son may we meet in Paradise. I, poor little moth, go first. Adieu.'

St. Theophane Venard, in a letter to his father just before his martyrdom in Vietnam
