Friday, August 19th

Each morning I resolve to be humble, and in the evening I recognize that I have often been guilty of pride. The sight of these faults tempts me to discouragement; yet I know that discouragement is itself but a form of pride. I wish therefore, O my God, to build all my trust upon You.  As You can do all things, deign to implant in my soul this virtue which I desire, and to obtain it from Your infinite mercy.

-St. Therese
