kateri (5)

'many years I spent alone
until our Lord decided to bless me

by giving me a holy companion
whose heart and soul was like mine

one morning, I walked around the chapel
as did a native woman called 
Mary Theresa Tekakwitha'


'we had never spoken before
and so greeted one another and spoke for the first time

during this first conversation
we talked only about God and salvation
and our desires for penance

our hearts and plans were in perfect accord
and so we set ourselves at the foot of the Cross

on the side of the great river
and told each other our lives

resolving to unite one another
to do penance'
