"Beg the Lord to keep you from any temptation that causes you to keep falling into the sin of pride. It is pride that keeps us blind to our own sins, and so loveless that we are always aware of the smallest sins of others. And so we ask God to correct and judge them, but to spare us!
Unless you completely open your soul up to God you will never bear the true mark of a follower of Jesus Christ and that mark is love!"
Theresa of Avila (1515-1582)
