Perfection consists in doing His will, in being that which He wants us to be.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
the more one advances, the more one sees the goal is still far off. And now I am simply resigned to see myself always imperfect and in this I find my joy.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
How happy I am to see myself as imperfect and to be in need of God's mercy.
