“If a little flower could speak, it seems to me that it  would tell us quite simply all that God has done for it, without hiding  any of its gifts. It would not, under the pretext of humility, say that  it was not pretty, or that it had not a sweet scent, that the sun had  withered its petals, or the storm bruised its stem, if it knew that such  were not the case.”   - St. Thérèse de Lisieux
