Quote/s of the Day – 10 October – St Francis Borgia SJ (1510-1572) Confessor
“When you pray,
hear Mass,
sit at table,
engage in business and,
when at bedtime you remove your clothes—
at all times, yearn that by the pain
which He felt when He was stripped
just before His Crucifixion,
He may strip us of our evil habits of mind.
Thus, naked, of earthly things,
we may also embrace the Cross!”
“What is it, my soul, that I seek in the world?
How long shall I pursue and grasp at shadows?
What is she already become,
who was lately so beautiful,
so great, so much revered?
This death which has thus treated the imperial diadem,
has already levelled his bow to strike me.
Is it not prudent, to prevent its stroke,
by dying now to the world that,
at my death. I may live to God?”
