May 18

Do not dare to think ever that you, you who go with the consecrated soul to seek your brother, are the power by which that soul is being sought in the universe of God. God loves every soul to which you go, with a love that your love toward Him cannot begin to understand. God is seeking every soul that you are seeking, with the immediate impulses of His grace and love, in ways too deep and mysterious for you and me to begin to comprehend. That will not make us think, in one slightest degree, that our seeking of that soul is useless; but it will make us go with great eagerness and with faith and with hope, doing what we can for every brother, but thankful to know that that brother is God's child, and that He is seeking that soul and ministering His love

to it directly, as well as though the feeble ministry that we can bring.
