My Son,

Do not despair, my Son. Alas, many have come to me with the same sad plight. It is not a sin to fall in love, and you were not married nor betrothed to Rosaline, beauty though she be. God willed you to love this woman, this Juliet, and so it must be- surrender to your feelings, and I shall pray some good comes of it. Do not be afraid, for everything God does has a purpose. Perhaps you and she shall live long, happy lives. Think no longer of the lady Rosaline- she is plainly destined for a different life, with someone else. Only grief will come of it if you dwell on her image.

Fear not, always you have utter secrecy with what you confess to me, and through me, God. Go with Him, my Son, and with His blessing.

Your faithful Father,

Father Louis
