One might be tempted to think she had no need for believing without
seeing - she had seen marvelous things. But yet there was for her a
constant clash of what her senses reported, and what her faith said. Her
senses would report: this seems like a very ordinary baby, with ordinary
needs. Or she would be tempted to wonder at His staying home for 30 years
when He was sent for so great a mission. Her faith would report: I must
believe even so. One extraordinary Eucharistic minister once told me that
ever since he was allowed to handle the Sacred Host, he found greater
temptations against faith. That would be from the same sort of clash,
except that for her it was much stronger and clearer.
