“The fact that we are imperfect does not diminish his incomprehensible beauty, his infinite goodness, his boundless mercy, or any other of the titles that he has to our love. Rather, our imperfections, if we consider them well, are a stimulus to love, because they cry out to us that we must look outside of ourselves for that which our heart desires; that we must lift our eyes and our soul to merciful Love, to the only One who can take pity on our miseries and tenderly cure them. For our miseries are a testimony of the immense goodness of God. Lowly as we are, he loves us, and not only gives us the right by imposes on us the duty of loving him.”
