Everything is a grace

"Everything is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our Father's love —
difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul's miseries, her burdens, her needs —
everything, because through them, she learns humility, realises her weakness —
Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift.
Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events —
to the heart that loves, all is well."

~ St. Therese of Lisieux
