22 Quotes from St. Therese - Day 8

At the beginning of my spiritual life, around the age of thirteen or fourteen, I used to wonder what I would have to gain later, because I thought it was impossible for me to understand perfection any better.

So now I am resigned to seeing myself as always imperfect, and in that I find my joy . . . - St. Therese
