Iwas afraid they were not at all equally happy.
You made me bring Daddy’s tumbler and put it by the side of my thimble.
You
filled them both with water and asked me which was fuller. I told you they were
both full to the brim and that it was impossible to put more water in them than
they could hold. And so, Mother darling, you made me understand that in heaven
God will give His chosen their fitting glory and that the last will have no
reason to envy the first. By such means, you made me understand the most
sublime mysteries and gave my soul its essential food. –St. Thérèse of Lisieux,
The
Story of a Soul.
