Quote/s of the Day – 20 January – St Fabian, Pope and St Sebastian, Martyrs – Hebrews 11:33-39: Luke 6:17-23 – Scripture search here: https://www.drbo.org/
“And He, lifting up His eyes
on His disciples, said:
Blessed are you poor,
for yours is the Kingdom of God.”
Luke 6:20
“Whatever riches and all other transitory
things you may possess,
you must keep your heart free
from the slightest affection for them.
Your heart may be surrounded by riches;
however, riches must never master your heart!”
“Do not let that mind
which is the likeness of God,
cleave to mere earthly goods;
let it always be raised above them,
not sunk in them.”
“Do not fix your longings on anything
which you do not possess;
do not let your heart rest in that which you have;
do not grieve overmuch,
at the losses which may happen to you –
and then, you may reasonably believe
that although rich in fact,
you are not so in affection
but that you are poor in spirit
and, therefore, blessed,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is yours.”
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
