July 26, 1868 - Sunday

I remained confident and strongly invoked Our Lady of Laus and Our Lady of La Salette for a good outcome to my request.

No letter, I’m told at 8 o’clock. May God’s will be done, I said to Charles.

At 9 o’clock I started to work. Fr. Crepon followed by Fr. Stafford, came into my cell, he gave me a letter from Mademoiselle Eymard dated Friday 24. A sad letter. They hardly recognised him. Fr. had been very bad. They asked for prayers. Fr. Crepon sent me to look after Father. I did not at all doubt the gravity of the illness. Quite the contrary.
