“Humility endues you with the strength of God, and it is, moreover, the means of your sanctity. There is no saint here below who can rest, saying: ‘I have reached the degree to which God calls me.’ No, neither in the virtues nor in love does that ever come to pass. To possess a virtue in its perfection? That is to resemble Jesus Christ perfectly, and do you think yourself there? If any one would say that to you, he would be mocking you. You have only some shreds of virtue, and do you think yourself perfect in love? No! You are climbing the mountain of perfection, but you are not yet at its summit.”
-St. Peter Julian Eymard
