Thérèse

Thérèse of the Child Jesus used to say that, even if she had committed the greatest crimes on earth, she would be sure of God’s forgiveness. She went on to say that, in the presence of God, it is best to be little, for if one is little, all is forgiven, and if one falls it is not from a great height. Here we have an important secret of hope: a solid and lofty view of faith, not mere sentimentality.
René Voillaume LBJ (1905–2003)
