"Deus Pater, I had thought it too much to ask of you, since that day, that you should bring into my life one so like myself. But who am I to understand the vast complexity of your plan, and all its subtle intricacies. To think that you have so ordered the world that the crimes of men, separated so far by time and space, could end in such joy and love as I would have gladly suffered a thousand times the agony to achieve."
