In this letter which Leonie wrote to her sister Sr Genevieve (Celine) on August 6, 1937, we can perceive the deep faith and love she had for Jesus. The virtue of hope in her words is really inspiring.
What a wonderful feast the Transfiguration is! Even on earth, our Beloved is truly ours to possess, hidden in the white Eucharistic Host until we see him face to face in eternity. It is in this loving encounter that we come together every day in our Communions, especially on feast days and birthdays. We are bound in an ineffable union when we meet in Jesus. We are truly fused as one. The only thing I know and ask for now is the grace to live and die in an act of pure love. This encapsulates everything. Everything else leaves me tired and indifferent. I’m sure you will understand me perfectly, beloved little sisters, because our hearts and souls are the same and perfectly moulded in sweet Jesus’ Heart........
Our divine King reigns at last despite Satan and his minions. All that is left for His consecrated brides to do is pray and practice self-sacrifice so that the fruit produced in all these revived and disillusioned souls might be lasting.
See how she concludes her letter !
Yes, my inseparable sister, once again, happy and holy feast day! Soon all four of us will be on the eternal and ardently desired Tabor.
