On Gentleness Toward Ourselves
So then, when you have fallen, lift up your
heart in quietness, humbling
yourself deeply before God by reason of your
frailty, without marveling
that you fell;—there is no cause to marvel because
weakness is weak, or
infirmity infirm. Heartily lament that
you should have offended God, and
begin anew to cultivate the lacking grace, with
a very deep trust in His
Mercy, and with a bold, brave heart.
St. Francis
de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life
