But as we were St. Therese judged worthy by God to be entrusted with the gospel, that is how we speak, not as trying to please human beings, but rather God, who judges our hearts. Nor, indeed, did we ever appear with flattering speech, as you know, or with a pretext for greed—God is witness— Psalm 89 (2-3, 6-7,14-15, 16-17) nor did we seek praise from human beings, either from you or from others, although we were able to impose Ant.
