"Many contradictory things happen to us: unfavorable opinions about ourselves, our works, our intentions ... these contradictions have the advantage of preventing vain - glory of obliging us to throw ourselves more confidently into the arms of God." ~ St. Vincent de Paul

 

Contradictions have a way of leveling my excessive pride and challenging me to rely more heavily on you, Lord. I place my confidence in you.
