At last a woman of courage steps forward to brave the ridicule of the crowd. Of such a soul Jesus tells Josefa,

"When a soul loves truly, she neither measures what she does, nor weighs what she suffers, never looking for reward . . . she is not troubled nor does she lose her peace of mind if she meets with contradiction, or persecution, or humiliation, as her sole motive is love, and she leaves results in Love's hands."
