In you, my nothing becomes a strength.

I love you, O Lord, and I ask you only for the grace to dive deeper into your thoughts, into your intentions, into your will. Grant me your will and give me strength to fulfill it. In you, my nothingness becomes strength: my incapacity turns into possibility, and even my sin transforms into a source of love.

(Carlo Carretto /1910–1988/, diary entry from August 7, 1955)
