a secret

[heyyoimjohnny]

"My dearest daughter, we have here at Annecy a Capuchin painter who, as you may think, only paints for God and His temple. And although while working he has to pay so close an attention that he cannot pray at the same time, and although this occupies and even fatigues his spirit, still he does this work with good heart for the glory of our Lord, and with the hope that these pictures will excite many faithful to praise God and to bless His goodness."

--- St. Francis de Sales, in one of his letters
