“Sometimes, when I read spiritual treatises… my poor little mind soon grows weary, I close the learned book, which leaves my head splitting and my heart parched, and I take the Holy Scriptures. Then all seems luminous, a single word opens up infinite horizons to my soul… I see that it is enough to realize one’s nothingness, and give oneself wholly, like a child, into the arms of the good God… I rejoiced to be little because ‘only children, and those who are like them, will be admitted to the heavenly banquet.'”
(Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, Letter).
