Stephane-Joseph Piat > Quotes

“When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven.”
― Rev. Fr. Stephane-Joseph Piat, The Story of a Family: The Home of St. Therese of Lisieux
