How easily we dismiss that which is for the true benefit of our soul and eternal salvation for the sake of comfort
with our present beliefs and way of thinking. — unknown
Isn’t it the way we perceive things that makes them what they will be. – Moon Rider, Up With People.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life
