Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder how I do these things. I can embarrass myself so badly that I literally get a hot prickle down the back of my neck.

If I were to say you are crazy, what part of that would you find unacceptable?

I get really upset seeing my friends who are mums crying because they feel like they're not good enough. Clever, confident, kind young women all going, 'I'm ruining my child's life.'

Domestic goddesses have infiltrated everybody's lives and raised the bar way too high.

I have faith in God and not that we have evolved from a rock, not from worshiping the environment or endangered bugs.

All I know is that I'm a sinner and that God has forgiven me of my sins. Because I put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

I say three prayers every night to make sure that God knows I thank him so much.

When I took the habit, the Lord immediately showed me how He favours those who do violence to themselves in order to serve Him. No one saw what I endured... At the moment of my entrance into this new state I felt a joy so great that it has never failed me even to this day; and God converted the dryness of my soul into a very great tenderness.
