“Let us detach ourselves in spirit
from all that we see
and cling to that which we believe.

which we must imprint
on all our daily actions and behaviour.”

“If we wish to make any progress
in the service of God,
we must begin everyday of our life,
with new eagerness.
We must keep ourselves,
in the presence of God,
as much as possible
and have no other view or end,
in all our actions
but the Divine honour.”
St Charles Borromeo (1538-1584)
“The very prince of the universe, is man;
the crowning point of man, is his heart;
of the heart, is love
and the perfection of love, is charity.
That is why the love of God is the goal,
the crowning point,
the be-all and end-all of the universe.”
(Treatise on the Love of God,Book 10 Chapter 1)
