If it be the will of God that I should bring down contempt and ridicule upon myself when I endeavour to exercise a public ministration, it will be a favour for which I ought to bless Him ; for, perhaps, he sees that such is the only means by which I can acquire humility; and it is essential that I should be humble, for otherwise my salvation is impossible.

— Nicholas Tuite MacCarthy Sermons of the Abbé Mac Carthy (1848)
