Goodness
The word "Goodness" is written on you and on all creation. A letter of Saint Therese Couderc, co-founder of the Cenacle Sisters, shares a vision of goodness: A few days ago, I saw something that consoled me very much. It was during my thanksgiving, when I was making a few reflections on the goodness of God ... infinite goodness, uncreated goodness, source of all goodness! ... I was extremely touched by these reflections, when I saw written as in letters of gold this word "Goodness," which I repeated for a long while with an indescribable sweetness. I saw it, I say, written on all creatures, animate and inanimate, rational or not — all bore this name of goodness. I saw it even on the chair which I was using for a kneeler. I understood then that all that these creatures have of good and all the services and help that we receive from each of them are a kindness that we owe to the goodness of our God, who has communicated to them something of his infinite goodness, so that we may meet it in everything and everywhere.
