Quote/s of the Day – 11 July – The Memorial of St Benedict of Nursia OSB (c 480-547)
“It is time now for us to rise from sleep!”
“Listen and attend
with the ear of your heart.”
“He should know,
that whoever undertakes,
the government of souls,
must prepare himself
to account for them.”
“For at all times
we must so serve Him
with the good things He has given us,
that He may not, as an angry Father,
disinherit His children,
nor as a dread Lord, provoked by our evil deeds,
deliver us to everlasting punishment
as wicked servants who refuse
to follow Him to glory.”
“He, who labours as he prays,
lifts his heart to God,
with his hands.”
“Run, while you have the light of life!”
