What each one is interiorly,
face to face with God,
unknown to anyone, is of vital consequence to all.
And every act of love,
every act of faith and adoration,
every mute uplifting of the heart,
raises the whole world nearer to God.
From everyone who is in union with God
there breathes a spiritual vitality, light, strength, and joy,
which reach from end to end of the universe;
a source of grace to those least conscious of it,
even to those least worthy of it,
and knowing nothing of how and whence it comes.
