"My child, you are quite ready to appear before God because you have always understood the virtue of humility."
Then of herself she gave this beautiful testimony:
"Yes, I feel it, my soul has never sought but the truth . . . yes, I have understood humility of heart!"
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. XII
[DETACHMENT]
IF the impossible were possible and that God Himself did not see my good actions, I would not grieve about it. I love Him so much that I should like to be able to give Him pleasure without His knowing that it was I . . . Knowing and seeing it, He is, in a way, bound to repay me . . . I would not give Him the trouble.
COUNSELS AND REMINISCENCES
THE glory of Jesus . . . that is my whole ambition; my own I abandon to Him; and if He seem to forget me, well, He is at liberty to do so since I am mine no more, but His. He will more quickly tire of making me wait, than I, of waiting!
