Quote/s of the Day – 6 May – Monday of the Third week of Easter, Gospel: John 6:22–29
Speaking of – Dangerous Affections – St Augustine
“Do not love the world
or the things of the world.
If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father, is not in him.”
1 John 2:15
“The honours of this world,
what are they but puff
and emptiness
and peril of falling?”
“What do you possess
if you possess not God?”
“The love of worldly possessions
is a sort of bird line,
which entangles the soul
and prevents it flying to God.”
“This is the business of our life –
by labour and prayer,
to advance in the grace of God,
till we come to that height of perfection
in which, with clean hearts,
we may behold God.”
“Daily advance,
then, in this love,
both by praying
and by well-doing,
that through the help of Him
who enjoined it on you
and whose gift it is,
it may be nourished
and increased,
until, being perfected,
it render you perfect.”
“God does not
command impossibilities
but by commanding,
admonishes you do what you can
and to pray for what you cannot
and aids you,
that you may be able.”
“This very moment,
I may,
if I desire,
become the friend
of God.”
AnaStpaul
