He has never inspired me with any desire and left it unsatisfied, and that is why I have always found His bitter chalice full of sweetness. - Thérèse of Lisieux

But Our Lady allowed this trouble to befall me for the good of my soul; without it, vanity might have crept into my heart, whereas now I was humbled, and looked at myself with profound contempt. My God, Thou alone knowest all that I suffered.

Et le Seigneur se pencha, il cueillit doucement la fleur embaumée, il détacha sans effort sa grappe chérie du cep amer de l'exil, la trouvant totalement dorée des feux de l'Amour divin.

In Heaven, God will do all I desire, because on earth I have never done my own will.
