To know how to display our miseries before God is to draw down grace; never forget that. If a soul, even one far advanced in virtue, ceased to regard her own misery and to take complacency in the gifts she has received, she would infallibly fall. For you, my dear child, learn to say with Saint Paul, “Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”
