” As much as we shall humble ourselves by true humility of heart, so much will the Almighty humble Himself in us to fill our hearts with the abundance of His Holy Spirit, Who will prepare us to receive the Lord in His holy birth.

Let us cast our eyes on our Lord, and ask for His help, that we may be taught what we have to do so as to receive Him on His coming into the world. He will teach us nothing but this only: that we must keep our hearts on high, raised in the greatness and mercy of God. He will teach us His Divine will.”

St. Jane de Chantal, Exhortation IV, 1631
