"Thomas, my dear Thomas . . . I am a very selfish person. I know I shouldn't be bothering you, least of all now. But I must ask you something. Perhaps it is the solution for . . . everything."
"Ask, little one."
"Thomas . . . it sounds so very stupid. How does one become a saint?"
"Will it."
She gasped. "Will it? And that is all?"
"That is all we can do. God does the rest. Love God. But remember: love is of the will. To love is to will. Amare est velle."
