It is in Heaven, therefore, that we shall know our titles of nobility. Then shall each one receive from God the praise that he merits,[1] and he who upon earth will have made choice of being the poorest and the most unknown for love of our Lord, he will be the first, the noblest and the richest.
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. VI
I thank my Jesus for making me
walk in darkness; in it I am wrapped in
profound peace. Willingly I consent
to stay, during the whole of my religious
life, in this sombre tunnel into which He
has made me enter; I desire only that
my darkness may win light for sinners.
IV LETTER TO MÈRE AGNÈS DE JÉSUS
In this world we must not become
attached to anything—not even things
the most innocent, for they fail us at the
moment when we are least expecting it.
The eternal alone can satisfy us.
I LETTER TO SR. MARIE DU SACRÉ-CŒUR
