Prayer: Isaac Jogues, S.J.

I do not know what it is to enter Paradise, but this I know, it would be difficult to experience in this world a joy more excessive and overflowing than I felt when I set my foot in New France and celebrated my first Mass here at Quebec on the Feast of the Visitation (July 2nd). I assure you it was indeed a day of the visitation of the goodness of God and Our Lady. I felt as though it were a Christmas Day for me and I was able to be born again to a new life, and a life in God.
