O my God, must that Love which is disdained lie hidden in Your Heart? It seems to me that if You should find souls offering themselves as a holocaust to Your Love, You would consume them rapidly and would be pleased to set free those flames of infinite tenderness now imprisoned in Your Heart. If Your Justice which avenges itself upon earth must be satisfied, how much more must Your Merciful Love desire to inflame souls, since ‘Your Mercy reaches even to the Heavens’! Ps. 35: 6
-St. Therese
