Only the Small Will Rise

October 3, 2024

SOMETIMES, when I read spiritual treatises, in which perfection is shown with a thousand obstacles in the way and a host of illusions round it, my poor little mind grows very soon weary. I close the learned book, which leaves my head muddled and my heart parched, and I take up the Holy Scripture. Then all seems luminous, a single word opens up infinite horizons to my soul, perfection seems easy; I see it is enough to realize one’s nothingness and give oneself wholly, like a child, into the arms of the good God.”

— St. Thérèse of Lisieux
