When We Are Truly In This Interior Simplicity Our Whole Appearance Is Franker, More Natural. This True Simplicity. . . Makes Us Conscious Of A Certain Openness, Gentleness, Innocence, Gaiety, And Serenity. O, How Amiable This Simplicity Is! Who Will Give It To Me? I Leave All For This. It Is The Pearl Of The Gospel.
