Friday, April 6, 1973: From Father Alexander's Journal:
"What is happiness? It is to live as well as we do now, with L., just the two of us, savoring every hour- morning coffee; two, three hours of quiet in the evening. No 'special' conversation. All is clear, and therefore so good!... As one approaches the essence of a thing, fewer and fewer words are needed. In eternity, in the Kingdom, only 'Holy, Holy, Holy' will be needed, only words of praise and thanks, only prayer and the brightness of fullness and joy."
Wednesday, June 1, 1983: The Last Line in Father Alexander's Journal:
"What happiness it all has been!"
