" "La caridad perfecta consiste en soportar los defectos de los otros, en no asombrarse por sus flaquezas, en edificarse con los más pequeños actos de virtud que se les vea practicar, pero, sobre todo, he comprendido que la caridad no debe permanecer encerrada en el fondo del corazón: «No se enciende una lámpara para meterla debajo de un cajón, sino que se la pone sobre el candelero para que ilumine a TODOS los que están en la casa».
Thérèse of Lisieux (2 January 1873 – 30 September 1897) was a French Discalced Carmelite nun. She was canonized in 1925.

To this dearly loved sister I confided my most intimate thoughts; she cleared up all my doubts. One day I expressed surprise that God does not give an equal amount of glory to all the elect in Heaven — I was afraid that they would not all be quite happy. She sent me to fetch Papa's big tumbler, and put it beside my tiny thimble, then, filling both with water, she asked me which seemed the fuller. I replied that one was as full as the other — it was impossible to pour more water into either of them, for they could not hold it. In this way Pauline made it clear to me that in Heaven the least of the Blessed does not envy the happiness of the greatest.
