"It matters very little if you approach the Sacraments with sensible fervor, provided that you replace this with deep and sincere humility. Without this humility there is nothing more despicable in God's Eyes than ourselves, but with it we can go to Him without fear, certain that He will deign to look on us with infinite mercy."

~ St. Claude de la Colombiere, The Spiritual Direction of St. Claude de la Colombiere, translated and arranged by Mother M. Philip, IBVM.

With humility, we can go to Him with love and not in fear, because He looks on us with mercy....
