Weakness also comes to me, but I rejoice in it. I am not always above earthly trivialities; for example, I am disturbed by the foolishness I say or do. But I recover and tell myself: What a pity! I am still just as I was before! However, I say it with great gentleness and without sadness. It is so good to feel small and weak!
(Thérèse of Lisieux, Last Conversations, July 5, 1897)
