From: My Sister Saint Therese, by Sister Genevieve of the Holy Face (Celine Martin), translation from the French by the Carmelite Sisters of New York, Tan Books and Publishers, Rockford Illinois 1997 (Originally published in 1959), p. 31:
“As a remembrance of my profession my dear little sister made a sketch of my coat-of-arms with the motto I had chosen: “ The loser always wins.” Later she developed this theme and went on to explain how we must choose to lose everything on this earth, and allow ourselves to be stripped of all, in order to gain poverty of spirit. In her own case she lived out this principle to such a degree as even to desire that others in preference to herself should be favored by special graces. Moreover, I have seen her pass on to another a book from which she was deriving great spiritual profit, before she had finished reading it and without any hope of having it returned.”
