Quote/s of the Day – 11 July – The Memorial of St Benedict of Nursia OSB (c 480-547)
“Ora et labora.”
“Be careful to be gentle,
lest in removing the rust,
you break the whole instrument.”
“He should first show them,
in deeds,
rather than words,
all that is good and holy.”
“Before all
and above all,
attention shall be paid
to the care of the sick,
so that they shall be served,
as if they were Christ Himself.”
“He who labours as he prays,
lifts his heart to God with his hands.”
“Whenever you begin any good work,
you should first of all,
make a most pressing appeal
to Christ our Lord,
to bring it to perfection.”
AnaStpaul
