I agree with Elizabeth Ann Seton when she said:
"O God, into whatever state of blindness or absurdity I many fall, in whatever ignorance of your ways I many chance to be, in whatever state of disorder my faith may be, if I seek You in the simplicity of my heart, I will surely find you. Amen - May it be so."
