all that is harsh and difficult I want for myself and all that is gentle and sweet I want for you.

what do you think about that quote?
 
That sounds somewhat like St. Teresa of Avila: “Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.”
 
be strict with oneself and broad-hearted with others

be strict with oneself and charitable with others

be strict with oneself and generous with others

it may have fasting applications as well.
 
Thanks!

i think the actor who plays JPII is quoted as saying this in a catholic movie about john paul the second.

he is quoted as praying this as the younger john paul II in the clandestine seminary days.

so the actor would be cary elwes and then jon voigt plays the more mature john paul 2.

++++++++++++++++++++++

the only precaution regarding this quote may involve humility that is not humility.

so-called humility that is really being a doormat in some type of twisted co-dependency domestic violence situation.

[so that is why we have the whole gospel, many saint quotes, confessors to ask questions, pastors, spiritual guides, Christian friends, etc. – to avoid mis-application of something good.]
