If I were to occupy myself further with the sentiments of devotion manifested by a multitude of pious souls, and by a very great number even of Nuns, for the extension of the faith in New France, I would considerably exceed the proper length of a Chapter; but no matter, charity covereth all. I learn that in the Church of Mont-martre,[63] a place sacred as the depository of so many Martyrs and by the presence of so many purified souls, the Sisters take turns praying, by day and by night, to solicit and to constrain Heaven to bestow its holy benedictions upon our labors. The Carmelites are all on fire; the Ursulines are filled with zeal; the Nuns of the Visitation have no words significant enough to show their ardor; those of Nostre Dame implore permission to share in the sufferings which must be undergone among [20] these Peoples; and the Hospitalieres insist that they be brought over here next year.[64] Nature has no breath sacred enough to light these fires; these flames arise from a fire all divine, from an increate and living fire. _We bear you more envy than compassion in your sufferings_, write some of them. _We accompany you with our feeble prayers, particularly to the holy Virgin, to whom we are dedicated, and to our Father, saint Joseph, and our Mother, saint Theresa, and to the Angels of the country where you are, that they may be with you in their strength and power._ Oh, what great help! _If it were as easy_, says another, _to build a Carmelite Convent as it is to raise one of the Cabins of the Savages, and if we were as powerful as we are impotent and weak, you would find from now on a great many Sisters very ready to go to your aid_. Voicy les propres termes d'vne autre. _Il faut que vous sçachiez que la Nouuelle France commence d'entrer dans les esprits de plusieurs personnes, ce qui me fait croire que Dieu la regarde d'vn œil fauorable. Helas! que diriés vous, mon R. Pere_, [21] _si sa diuine Majesté disposoit les affaires en sorte, que nous eussions bien tost le courage, & le moyen de vous aller trouuer. Ie vous diray que si telle est la volonté de Dieu, qu'il n'y a rien en ce monde, qui m'en puisse empescher, quand mesme ie deurois estre engloutie des ondes en chemin._ Here are the exact words of another. _You must know that New France is beginning to enter the minds of a great many people, which makes me think that God is looking upon it with a favorable eye. Ah, what would you say, my Reverend Father_, [21] _if his divine Majesty were so to shape events that we would soon have the courage and the means to go to you. I will tell you that if such be the will of God, there is nothing in this world that can prevent me, even if I were to be engulfed in the waves on the voyage._
