344. Observe the method for polishing metals. They are scrubbed with mud, with substances that dirty and dull them; after this process, they shine like gold. Well then! Temptations are like this mud for the soul: they serve only to make the virtues that oppose these same temptations shine within it. (St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus)
