Conceive an indignation against thyself; suffer not the swelling of pride to live in thee; but make thyself so submissive and little, that all may trample on thee, and tread thee under their feet, as the dust of the streets.
-Bk. III, ch. xiii.
_______________
Grant that I may keep my vows in all their perfection, that no one may notice me, that I may be trodden underfoot and forgotten as a grain of sand. I offer myself to Thee, my well-Beloved, that Thy holy will may be fulfilled in me, without let or hindrance on the part of creatures.
-The Story of a Soul (L'Histoire d'une Âme).
