Oh Mary, how happy you are to have a heart that can love like this... Thank Jesus for giving you such a precious gift, and give Him your heart completely. Creatures are far too small to fill the immense emptiness that Jesus has created in you, do not give them a place in your soul... (…) Love Him madly for all those who do not love Him! (…) You, little privileged one of Jesus, pray that your unworthy little sister may learn to love as you do, if possible!...
(Therese of Lisieux, Letter 93, to Marie Guérin, July 14, 1889)
