| Quotation | I find consoling lines here and there in Dom Chapman's Spiritual Letters [The Spiritual Letters of Dom John Chapman, OSB, London, 1935]. For instance: Humility in oneself is not attractive, though it is attractive in others." I do not know if what is in me is humility. But it is certainly not attractive. Anguish and fear. Nobody likes to be afraid. |
