Title: Quote for the Day: The Best Remedy for Dryness Post by: Shin on September 11, 2010, 11:19:31 PM 'The best remedy for dryness of spirit, is to picture ourselves as beggars in the presence of God and the Saints, and like a beggar, to go first to one saint, then to another, to ask a spiritual alms of them with the same earnestness as a poor fellow in the streets would ask an alms of us.'
St. Philip Neri Title: Re: Quote for the Day: The Best Remedy for Dryness Post by: martin on September 12, 2010, 08:03:12 PM The poor beggar in this world can't be sure that when he begs he will receive anything and what he does receive can be often given begrudgingly.
What true friends we have in the saints. We can be sure that they will never refuse us what we need and be more than generous in their help. Thanks and praise be to God for the saints :harp: Title: Re: Quote for the Day: The Best Remedy for Dryness Post by: Shin on September 12, 2010, 08:14:18 PM Amen! Thanks be to God for His saints!
