To those in Jerusalem, Jesus remained silent. When the tempest of your indignation flares up, say again with a peaceful sweetness: “Glory be to the Father and the Son and to the Holy Spirit.” Bury yourself in the deep abyss of the love, the glory, the joy of the divine Persons; refuse yourself every gaze toward yourself. Nothing troubles the radiant and impassable felicity of the Blessed Trinity. The opinion of men has neither value nor interest: you are what God sees. Is this not an unspeakable joy that He will be the only one to enjoy what is the purest and the most beautiful in yourself?
