St. Madeleine Sophie wrote to Mother Duchesne:

Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels

November 1, 1811 ~ St. Madeleine Sophie wrote to Mother Duchesne: "Your short letter tells me much, and I answer: Courage and patience.  Let God have His way.  He will lead His servants to the goal of their desires. If we desire only His Holy Will, I believe I can assure you He will do our will." 

Taken from the book:  Through the Year with Philippine Duchesne


Today is the Feast of All Saints and I thought it befitting to use the above photograph of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne that I took while attending the 2009 Cor Unum mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels during the AASH Conference. John Nava is the artist who created the tapestries for the Cathedral.  The most prominent of the three tapestry groups is the Communion of Saints.  This is by far one of the most beautiful Cathedrals that I have ever been in and I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
