Dive into God like into the sea. Never let yourself be disturbed. Neither by the fact that your physical strength is limited, nor by the sight of your inner wretchedness: do not look at your wounds with your own eyes, for that would let the infection from them enter your soul. Examine them in the eyes of Jesus; He sees you as you are, and yet He loves you more than you could ever understand on this earth.
(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, correspondence)
