HOLINESS

 

We must hate our faults, but we should do so calmly and peacefully, without fuss or anxiety.  We must be patient at the sight of these faults and learn from the humiliation which they bring about.  Unless you do this, your imperfections, of which you are acutely conscious, will disturb you even more and thus grow stronger, for nothing is more favourable to the growth of these “weeds” than our anxiety and overeagerness to get rid of them.  (Letter to Madame de la Fléchère)
