July 4, 1825
~ Philippine writes to St. Madeleine Sophie, "Today
we are celebrating the feast of independence in this country,
rejoicing among all classes and religions, for the Catholics do not forget that
this day gave them freedom of worship. As for me, I shall anticipate July 22
and celebrate in my heart now and always the treasured and inspiring dependence
which binds me to you. Yes, I shall bless God for it to my dying day, and
we shall be united in spirit to you on your feast day."
