“The world … hates Me
because I bear witness concerning it,
that its works are evil.”
John 7:7
“… THE WORLD HATES Christians,
so why give your love to it,
instead of following Christ,
Who Loves you and has Redeemed you?
A man cannot love the Father
and love the world at the same time.
All that the world offers is the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes and earthly ambition.
The world and its allurements will pass away
but the man who has done the will of God
shall live forever.
Our part, my dear brothers,
is to be single-minded, firm in faith
and steadfast in courage, ready for God’s will, whatever it may be. Banish the fear of death
and think of the eternal life which follows it.
That will show people that we really live our faith.”
St Cyprian of Carthage (200-258)
Bishop of Carthage, Martyr
Father of the Church
(An excerpt from On Man’s Mortality).
“God takes special care
to detach from the passing pleasures of this world,
those whom He Loves with special predilection,
by sending them desires after heavenly bliss
and, by the sorrows and bitterness
of the present life.”
St Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556)
“We must make our way towards eternity,
never regarding what men think of us,
or of our actions,
studying only to please God.”
St Francis Borgia (1510-1572)
