A quote from Pope Francis:

"It is a consolation to know that He truly knows who we are and is not afraid of our smallness. … Many people these days mask and conceal themselves. They like to construct personalities and invent profiles. … They are unable to bear the thrill of knowing that they are known by Someone Who is greater and Who does not despise our littleness, Who is more Holy and does not reproach our weakness, Who is truly good and is not scandalised by our wounds. May it not be so for you: let that thrill run through you, do not remove it or silence it."

— Audience with new bishops, Sept. 16, 2016
