heart, escape me; but that does not discourage me, I bear with having a little less peace and I try to be more watchful another time.
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. X
Veiled in the white Host, O my
Well-Beloved, how meek and humble
of heart dost Thou show Thyself to me!
Thou couldst not stoop lower to teach
me humility, and I, to respond to Thy
Love, desire to put myself in the lowest
place and share Thy humiliations, that
I may have part with Thee[1] in the Kingdom
of Heaven.
I beseech Thee, my Jesus, to send me some humiliation every time that I shall attempt to put myself above others.
HIST. D'UNE AME, APPENDIX
What pleases the good God in my
little soul is to see me love my littleness
and my poverty, it is seeing the blind
trust that I have in His Mercy.
