Children Quote by Ian Osborn

“By emphasizing God’s mercy, more infinite than a parent’s for a child, she found salvation in her own weakness. “Sanctity,” Thérèse explains to her sister, is “a disposition of heart which is confident to the point of audacity in the goodness of our Father.” quote by Ian Osborn
