Today's station: S. Maria in Trastevere
Quote, from True Spouse:
Of our own we have nothing but sin, which renders us worse than nothing; and ofSyllogism:
ourselves we can do nothing but evil. Whatever good we have or perform belongs to God and comes from his hands. This truth the humble man keeps continually before his eyes; he therefore appropriates to himself only what is evil, deems himself worthy of all sorts of contempt, and cannot bear to hear others attribute to him what he does not deserve. On the contrary, he delights in seeing himself despised and treated according to his deserts; and thus renders his soul most pleasing to God.
