Thinking humbly of the doctrine of truth

It is of great stupidity to neglect the things that are profitable and necessary, in order to choose to think about that which is curious and hurtful.
O God, who is truth, make me one with You in everlasting love.
The more a person is at home with oneself, and becomes of a single heart, the easier it is to understand higher things because one receives wisdom from above.
A pure, single, and stable spirit is not distracted though it is employed in many works; because it does all for the honour of God, and being at rest within, seeks not itself in anything it does.
A good and devout person plans within oneself the things which one should do.
This should also be our undertaking, to conquer ourselves, and daily to wax stronger, and to grow in holiness.
A humble knowledge of oneself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
A person is wise who does the will of God and forsakes one’s own will, if one understands the characteristics of the Holy Spirit and the God/man Jesus.

A person is truly great who has great love.

J ;  May we honestly pray:           Our Abba(daddy) Father, who art in heaven The one that teaches us how to be responsible to the degree we can handle responsibility; The one who loves Mom like the Catholic’s love Mother Mary and more; The one who enjoys spending time with us. Help us to respect Your Name so much so that You are proud of us and others are proud of You Give us today, everything that we need and help us to be grateful for all the abundance especially w...
