Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-September 4

Whenever we behold ourselves unusually favoured by God, we must humble ourselves the more. Thais, who was first a sinner and then a Saint, humbled herself so profoundly before God that she dared not even mention his name; so that she had not the courage to say, "My God," but she said, "Thou who hast made me, have mercy on me."
