QUOTATION: When it's You Against the World

When all else has forsaken us, it is then that we are least forsaken by God.

--St Jane Frances de Chantal

QUOTATION: We Must Rise Above the Self

To rise above self-- this is what must be done-- above all feelings, all opinions and dislikes, so that we gaze upon God and bind ourselves to Him by a simple assent.

--St. Jane Frances de Chantal

QUOTATION: Humility

Whoever is humble, on being humiliated, humbles himself the more; on being rejected, rejoices in the disgrace; on being placed in low and mean occupations, acknowledges himself to be more honored than he deserves, and performs them willingly; and only abhors and avoids exalted and honorable offices.

-- St. Jane Frances de Chantal
