Young children have only one fear: that is not to have their parents near them. They know that in the presence of their parents they have nothing to fear. If they are guilty of some fault, they count on the presence of their parents who will intervene to protect them… It is simply through lack of confidence [in God] that one does not succeed in acting with simplicity… If one had true confidence, one would be naturally simple.
Little Brother Marcel Văn CSsR (1928–1959)
