We must be who we are.

For us mortal humans, God's ways are also human ways. We must be who we are, with our wretched bodies, which we must take care of, but we must not be its slaves. Therefore, take care of your bodily needs wisely, so that you can work for God.

(Fr. Albert Peyriguere /1883–1959/, correspondence, letter from October 21, 1957)
