“How often we think that but for this or that person in our lives we should be saints! That troublesome person in the office; that exasperating fellow lodger; that spiteful old relative... Why is it that we cannot get away from them? It is because Christ wishes to be with them and has chosen us to take Him to them. He loves them, He sees the depths of their loneliness. He has plumbed it with His love. Moreover He approaches us in them.” -Caryll Houselander
