From the Church only good can come to us

Along with a disinterested love, we ought to have a great confidence: I am sure that this will go on increasing in your souls, with the help of God, in spite of the misunderstandings the Lord may allow, which, I insist, will never be misunderstandings on the part of the Church.

With this spirit of filial confidence, we shall receive with joy and cheerfulness any news which comes from the Spouse of Jesus Christ, even when it is painful, or could appear so to the eyes of people not of the Work, since we know that nothing bad can ever come to us from there: diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum (Rom 8:28), for those who love God, everything works out for the best.

I dare to assure you that this joy of ours, in spite of everything, is bound to cause surprise and astonishment, and, above all, edification, in those who without reason would expect any other reaction from us – which they have no grounds for anyway.
