To Him That Is Little
Chapter XII·Manuscript C·Mercy
Context
Among Thérèse's final reflections: God does not judge the little ones — He saves them. Mercy is granted to those who remain small. Even in positions of responsibility, littleness is possible, because littleness is not about what you do but about who you know yourself to be.
"To him that is little, mercy is granted. It is possible to remain little even in the most responsible position, and is it not written that, at the last day, 'the Lord will arise to save the meek and lowly ones of the earth'? He does not say 'to judge,' but 'to save!'"
