Wretchedness

"And in spite of my wretchedness and littleness, I have my trust deeply anchored in the abyss of Your mercy, my God and my creator!  In spite of my great wretchedness, I am not afraid of anything, but I maintain the hope of singing my song of praise for ever.  Let no soul doubt, even the most pitiful, so long as they are still alive, that they can become a great saint.  For great is the power of God's grace."  --- Sister Faustina, Petit Journal, p. 140  (which I read in Fr. Jacques Philippe's Interior Freedom, p. 41)
