Quote/s of the Day – 14 June – “The Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus” – Feast of St Basil the Great (329-379) Bishop of Caesarea, Confessor, Father and Doctor of the Church.
“I tell you, this man went back to his home justified,
rather than the other;
for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled
but he who humbles himself,
will be exalted”
Luke 18:14
“Be on your guard, therefore
and bear in mind, this example
of severe loss, sustained through arrogance.
… Never place yourself above anyone,
not even great sinners.
Humility often saves a sinner,
who has committed many terrible transgressions!”
“A good deed is never lost;
he who sows courtesy,
reaps friendship
and he who plants kindness,
gathers love.”
“When someone steals another’s clothes,
we call them a THIEF.
Should we not give the same name
to one who could clothe the naked
and does not?
The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry;
the coat unused in your cupboard,
belongs to the one who needs it;
the shoes rotting in your drawer,
belong to the one who has no shoes;
the money which you hoard,
belongs to the poor.”
“I know many who fast, pray, sigh
and demonstrate every manner of piety,
as long as it costs them nothing,
yet, would not part with a penny
to help those in distress!”
“No Christian should think of himself
as his own master
but each should rather so think and act,
as though given by God,
to be slave to his fellow brothers and sisters.”
