Quote/s of the Day – 3 December – St Francis Xavier SJ (1506-1552) Confessor
“Are we in the habit of seeing all thing in God
and God in all things?
Do we accept all things from His Holy Hands
and do His Will cheerfully and lovingly?
Do we try to control ourselves when God sends
us sorrows, in addition to joy?
If we find we are in need of reform in this matter,
we should make good resolutions and fulfil them!”
Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
“His Lord said to him:
Well done, good and faithful servant
because thou has been faithful over a few things,
I will place thee over many thing.
Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
Matthew 25:21
“ Ah! If only those who look for knowledge in study,
took as much trouble in looking
for the consolations of the apostolate,
as they give day and night to the pursuit of knowledge!
If only those joys which the scholar seeks
in what he is learning, he were to seek
in making his neighbour feel,
what he is in need of – to know and serve God,
how much more consoled he would
find himself to be and better prepared,
to give an account of himself,
when Christ returns and asks him:
“Give me an account of your stewardship”
(Letter of 15/01/1544).
