Quote of the Day:
“The way that begins in the fear of God leads to grief that brings us joy and finally awe. Accept the truth of Christ crucified, and be sorry for your sins. His blood washes all souls clean. Don’t forget to exercise your soul in godly sorrow. Before you look to God for the sunshine of his wisdom, get on your knees and give him your helplessness and failures. Offer the One who loves you your shame, and live a godly life. When reading, pray for inspiration. When questioning, pray for a stronger loyalty to God. When exploring the earth’s wonders, pray for a greater appreciation for God’s mystery. When working, pray for grace. When studying, ask to be taught, above all things, how to love. And when you gain understanding, pray, ‘God, keep me humble’.”
~Bonaventure, Friar and leader of the Franciscan order (1221-1274), from The Soul’s Journey into God.
